Summary:                    /opt/csw/sbin/alternatives not installed in sparse
zone
Description: 
I have CSWsudo installed in globle zone. Hence alternatives too.
If I create a sparse zone alternatives is not installed correct into the
sparse zone. Hence no symlinks for sudo.

pkgchk CSWalternatives              
ERROR: /opt/csw/sbin/alternatives
    pathname does not exist

The script is missing.

Ok did some more digging. Funny thing is that I packaged the package with
gar. Using this as a reference:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/pkg/alternatives/branches/alternatives-gar

The package created with gar does not have the bug:
http://buildfarm.opencsw.org/~jh/alternatives-1.0,REV=2010.10.05-SunOS5.9-all-UNCOMMITTED.pkg.gz

It might be that the gar Version does depend on common. Not sure though if
thats the only reason.
