Perhaps the question is why there was a file /usr/bin/labeld on your system at the start, because a vanilla os2008.05 install won't have it - it isn't on any of my os2008.05 machines. Or are you playing with IPS on SXCE? (In which case I wouldn't expect it to know anything about the SVR4 packages.) -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
