I just Live Upgraded a SPARC box from snv_89 to snv_100a. There were several
error message in the upgrade log for SUNWslocal-root:
Doing pkgadd of SUNWslocate-root to /
pkgadd: ERROR: unable to create package object </a/var/lib/slocate>.

Installation of <SUNWslocate-root> partially failed.
pkgadd return code = 2
After booting the snv_100a BE, I verified that /var/lib/slocate was group root
(instead of group slocate), and slocate.db was group 98 instead of group
slocate. I fixed those by hand, but it looks like I need to do "slocate -u" as
root before I can actually use slocate for anything.
Question: would the initial "slocate -u" have fixed the group problems if I
hadn't already fixed them?
