Summary:                    libpq installs only partially - not checking if
postgresql binaries exists
Description: 
While installing libpq-8.3.1,REV=2008.05.02-SunOS5.8-sparc-CSW.pkg with
pkgutil:

/opt/csw/postgresql/bin/ecpg <linked pathname>
ERROR: attribute verification of </opt/csw/postgresql/bin/ecpg> failed
    pathname does not exist
    unable to create link to </opt/csw/bin/isaexec>
/opt/csw/postgresql/bin/pg_config <linked pathname>
ERROR: attribute verification of </opt/csw/postgresql/bin/pg_config>
failed
    pathname does not exist
    unable to create link to </opt/csw/bin/isaexec>

Installation of <CSWlibpq> partially failed.

There's no /opt/csw/postgresql directory on my system. I don't use
postgresql and am not planing to use it.

Yes, isexec exists:

You're trying to create a hardlink?

That won't work:

--($ ~/src)-- zfs list | grep csw

IOW: /opt/csw/bin and /opt/csw (and thus /opt/csw/postgresql) are seperate
filesystems.

Does it HAVE TO be a hardlink? Why no symlink?
