Hmm, just tried to upload package into catalog, and it died on me while
inserting into Solaris 11 catalog w/ the message I might use

CHECKPKG_OVERRIDES_CSWfontconfig += soname-unused|libthread.so.1|is|needed|by|/opt/csw/bin/fc-scan|but|never|used

to get rid of the error. Is there anything you could do about that?
