How does it not tell you?

Just read this bit:

"pkgchk-failed-with-code|1" means that pkgchk (/usr/sbin/pkgchk) failed
with system error code equal to 1.

checkpkg shouldn't crash either way.

Fix committed in r18664.

http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/changeset/18664

Just to make sure everyone is aware: pkgchk != checkpkg (sic!)

/usr/sbin/pkgchk: Sun utility from the SUNWpkgcmdsu package. This is the
one you use map from files to packages on a Solaris system (pkgchk -l -p foo)

checkpkg: OpenCSW utility designed to check OpenCSW packages. Lives in
GAR sources.
