Summary:                    CSWgcc3core misdelivers f-type file via postinstall
Description: 
CSWgcc3core delivers this file (in its postinstall):

/var/sadm/install/logs/CSWgcc3core-20060205135859
The problem is that the postinstall script sets the contents of the file
(via \'echo\') *after* it does the installf.  It needs to set the contents
first, or close the shell\'s redirected stdout before doing those echos
(and probably before doing installf).

(It also doesn\'t deliver a space file, so perhaps it should just not
deliver this file via packaging.)

exec >> ${logFile} 2>&1

installf ${PKGINST} \"${logFile}\"
[...]
installf -f ${PKGINST}

echo \"\"
echo \"System headers fixed successfully.\"
echo \"\"
echo \"Don\'t forget: whenever your system headers change run the
mkheaders script!\"

mantis helpfully put this in the wrong \'product\' for me; should be
\'gcc3core\'.
