Indeed, though I think that's not really what's wanted here. Rebuilding the windex database on each individual package install or removal would be horrible, unless the process were somehow made incremental. I think that'd take a redesign to accomplish. Instead, I think what's wanted is what we need for the boot archive as well: some way of saying "all my software updates are done for the time being, so please do your housecleaning now." > And I'm getting tired of /usr/bin/awk, /usr/bin/nawk, and even > /usr/xpg4/bin/awk. > Once again, I run into their stupid limits.

It's broken man pages. CR 6384781 is filed on this, and I should probably update it. The real problem is this one: http://www.blastwave.org/mantis/view_bug_page.php?f_id=0001596 The message you're seeing is really a red herring. "Upgrading" awk won't fix the broken man page. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
