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.

Thanks. Fyi I deleted my comment from my other account asking you to post
those two pkginfo outputs,  'cause i was sick of getting dup emails of
things :)
(anoying that I didnt see a way in mantis to turn off email cc's for that
acct. oh well)


Sooo.. I noticed Two things:

1. the gar version is 
CATEGORY:  application
but other one is category system.
I wouldnt think that should matter, but... maybe experiment later.


2. the gar version shows 
FILES:       12 installed pathnames
                   2 shared pathnames


whereas the regular "as-shipped" version does not. It only shows *3* files
installed.


Its kinda like you only installed the normal version to global zone, but
you installed the gar version "fully".

Which makes me wonder if you somehow installed the currently released
version with pkgadd -G.

Perhaps you can manually install the current version in global zone again
by hand, making sure to NOT use -G, and see if things suddenly look good?
