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.

It is customary to make hardlinks to isaexec, although there is no direct
necessity. The behaviour is duplicated from the Sun configuration where
isaexec lives in /usr/lib/isaexec. Splitting off /bin is really uncustomary
and I would discourage excessive filesystem splits. If you really want you
can make /opt/csw/var a separate filesystem, everything else below /opt/csw
should stay in one filesystem.
