Taking a look at a broken wanboot image (not sure if this is the same
one or not)
# find var
var
var/svc
var/svc/manifest
var/svc/manifest/system
var/sadm
var/sadm/pkg
# find tmp/root/var | wc -l
3346
# cat tmp/root/var/sadm/patch/.patchaddLock
3643
Note that the var symlink was broken and I was left with a small
skeleton directory there. The likely culprit was patchadd, not pkgrm.
