Summary:                    Not all files in the .pkg datastream get installed??
Description: 
This is an odd one.  I'm on Solaris 10 5/09.  I installed the
subversion-1.6.6,REV=2009.11.14-SunOS5.8-i386-CSW.pkg.gz package
and the file
share/doc/subversion/tools/client-side/change-svn-wc-format.py
did not get installed. No error message was produced. Its name
was not in the list of filenames output during installation. Its
name IS IN the pkgmap. But pkgchk completes successfully and never
complains about the file being missing.

The file IS PRESENT in the second cpio archive making up the
.pkg file.  In fact, I have installed it by hand now, just by
uncompressing the .pkg.gz file, splitting apart the two cpio
archives with dd, and using cpio to extract the file.  Nothing
wrong with the file.

Could something obscure be making the Solaris pkg tools just fail
to process that particular file?  this is shaking my faith in the
packaging system.

Hi skayser,

I was really liking your explanation, until I checked and the
CSWcswclassutils
package really does seem to be installed, and I even looked for
/usr/sadm/install/scripts/i.cswpycompile and it IS present.  What's the
next thing I should check?

Thanks,
-Chap

ps. thanks for the pointers on pkgtrans and pkgutil. I actually had not
found
those yet, but when I looked at the contents of the .pkg file I could see
it
was cpio format, and I didn't mind working at low level because I wasn't
sure
I trusted the high level tools.
