Updating gnulinks is tricky. It goes like this: /opt/csw/gnu contains links to
GNU programs without the „g“-prefix. Historically these links were shipped by
CSWgnulinks. Then we got smarter and each packages shipped his own links
(like CSWgmake ships /opt/csw/gnu/make) and they were removed one by one from
CSWgnulinks. Both the updated package (e.g. CSWgmake) and CSWgnulinks need to
be updated in sync and uploaded in the same run. As there have been no releases
on Solaris 9 you need to investigate starting from the version of CSWgnulinks
shipped in Solaris 9 which links have been updated and upload only that to
Solaris 9 catalog. I suggest you undo the change to gnulinks/trunk and make
a new branch for Solaris 9. Please keep in mind at the moment the Solaris 9
catalog works and it should prio 1 to not leave it in broken state.


Best regards
