Yes, you're right. Unfortunately, we can't remove /opt/csw/bin/checkpkg.

The part of /opt/csw/bin/checkpkg that's broken is the pkgtrans part.
So /opt/csw/bin/checkpkg can analyze a package if the metadata are
already imported. If it's a package that was never seen before, the
checkpkg from the sources must be used.

Of course we want to restore the ability of /opt/csw/bin/checkpkg to
import unseen packages, but it's generally been a problem. But the
workaround is simple: just run checkpkg from gar sources. Once that's
done, /opt/csw/bin/checkpkg will not try to pkgtrans the package and
the upload will work (provided there are no errors).

For now, I restored /opt/csw/bin/checkpkg. I'll dig into it when have
a little time, unless somebody else beats me to it.
