I happen to know that SUNWsmbfs (now system/filesystem-smb)

This dependency was previously expressed correctly in:
   usr/src/pkgdefs/SUNWsmbfsu/depend
I don't see it anywhere in here:
   usr/src/pkg/manifests/system-file-system-smb.mf

I don't think pkgdepend(1) can detect this, so I guess
I'll need to add a line to the ...smb.mf file, right?
Which bugster cat/subcat is appropriate for this?

Were all explicit dependencies like this dropped
during the IPS cut-over?  If so, there may be
more cases like this.


There will be missing dependencies; the error rate among the
svr4 package dependencies was very high and we chose to
ignore them during opensolaris development, instead focusing
our efforts on developing better means of automated dependency
analysis.  This will become increasing important as we refactor
the current packages to better support minimization.
