Summary:                    pkgutil 1.8: -u leaves lock file around when hitting
a cyclic dependency
Description: 
Me again, just filing everything i stumble upon currently - even minor
quirks. Filing it as tweak.

# pkgutil -u
Looking for packages that can be upgraded...
Parsing catalog, may take a while...
Loop protection limit (25000) hit. There's probably a cyclic dependency
in the catalog.

# ls /var/opt/csw/pkgutil/admin.run
/var/opt/csw/pkgutil/admin.run

# pkgutil -u
Stale lock file (/var/opt/csw/pkgutil/admin.run) removed
...

There's some die-calls that cause this, I have replaced many by an exit-sub
that cleans this up. I will keep doing that by as you see this is fixed at
the next invocation of pkgutil.
