Summary:                    Postinstall script fails for ca_certificates when
/opt/csw is read-only
Description: 
The postinstall script tries to write to the /opt/csw directory and fails
with an error. It doesn't break anything, it's just a needless error
message.

There is the global zone and there are non-global zones. The package is
being installed from the global zone. All the other zones inherit the
package. It goes something like this:

- The global zone:
  - the preinstall scripts are being run
  - the files get extracted and placed in all the directories on the
global zone
  - the postinstall scripts are being run
- Other zones:
  - preinstall
  - all the files that weren't inherited from the global zone are being
placed on the disk
  - postinstall

Most of the files are put on the disk from within the global zone, but
pre/postinstall scripts are being run in every zone.
