Summary:                    libgamin_dev creates broken symlink for libfam.so
Description: 
After installing libgamin_dev I got the following files:

% grep libfam /var/sadm/install/contents
/opt/csw/lib/libfam.so=libfam.so.0.0.0 s none CSWlibgamin-dev
/opt/csw/lib/sparcv9/libfam.so=libfam.so.0.0.0 s none CSWlibgamin-dev

Note, that there are two symlinks -- but not the files they are pointing
at. The libfam.so.0.0.0 does not exist neither in /opt/csw/lib nor in
/opt/csw/lib/sparcv9

Perhaps, the symlink should point at libgamin.so?

> All that's currently wrong with gamin_dev is that the libfam.so.0 symlink
it creates points at the non-existant libfam.so.0.0.0 instead of the
present libgamin.so

Doing that so would be wrong. Even FreeBSD did not do it that way.

When you install libgamin_dev, you will now automatically receive
CSWlibfam0 as a dependency, which will provide (create) libfam.so.0.0.0.

Now, there is libfam.so points to libfam.so.0.0.0 and libgamin-1.so (there
is no libgamin.so) points to libgamin-1.so.0.1.10.

Judging from the file size, libfam.so.0.0.0 and libgamin-1.so.0.1.10 are
not identical.

Anyhow, use pkgutil to update libgamin_dev and try to rebuild your
application.
