Heya!

A while ago I mailed a 'problem' where SUNWgnome-base-libs-root fails
to install due to a couple of files being already on the system per
SUNWiiimr.
(The thread is readable at
http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=47203&tstart=40#186103
where Laca mentioned he thought it was fixed and would look into it).

The message you get during installation is:
INFO: Installing SUNWgnome-base-libs-devel
ERROR: failed to install package:
The following files are already installed on the system and are being
used by another package:
/etc/amd64/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules

Installation of was suspended
(administration).
No changes were made to the system.

The workaround is to either pkgrm SUNWiimr or install the
SUNWgnome-base-libs-root package by hand, however, this breaks the
auto-build scripts people might run nightly via cronjobs or something
similar. What would be a good way to get around this? If anyone knows
a (simple) solution please let me know so I can try it on my test
server/desktop.


Thanks!


Patrick
