Background: I'm having trouble installing CSWcommon. Initially I tried 
an upgrade, then a remove
and install. The complaint remains the same:

Installing common - common files and dirs for CSW packages as <CSWcommon>

## Installing part 1 of 1.
/opt/csw/bin/sparc <symbolic link>
/opt/csw/doc <symbolic link>
/opt/csw/info <symbolic link>
/opt/csw/lib/32 <symbolic link>
/opt/csw/lib/64 <symbolic link>
/opt/csw/lib/locale <symbolic link>
WARNING: /opt/csw/lib/sparc may not overwrite a populated directory.
/opt/csw/share/locale/bg/LC_TIME <symbolic link>

[ verifying class <none> ]
pkgadd: ERROR: /opt/csw/lib/sparc could not be installed.

Installation of <CSWcommon> partially failed.
ERROR: could not add CSWcommon



So, I renamed the above dir created an empty one and got common to 
install successfully.
Common configured the above to be:

# ls -ld /opt/csw/lib/sparc
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other          1 Jun 29 08:31 /opt/csw/lib/sparc 
-> .

So, I took a look at the old dir and it truly is not empty:

# ls sparc.old
libswt-cde-motif-2135.so  libswt-motif-2135.so

I'm thinking easy enough, I'll just move the libs up but:

# ls -ld libswt-cde-motif-2135.so libswt-motif-2135.so
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         30 Mar 18 14:41 
libswt-cde-motif-2135.so -> sparc/libswt-cde-motif-2135.so
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         26 Mar 18 14:41 
libswt-motif-2135.so -> sparc/libswt-motif-2135.so

links exist that point to the dir I moved.

What should it be and how did this happen to me?

TIA
Gary
