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.
