I recently installed the 06/09 release as my first real attempt to
use Opensolaris on a daily basis on my laptop and on a workstation
at work. I am noticing a strange behavior and I am wondering if
this is normal, expected, or a bug.
Each day I get the icon on my desktop alerting me to an update. I
click on the update and it comes up with an update called "entire"
that is a .0.111b version, and it is 0 bytes in size. I have gotten
this every day that I have had this installed.
I am an Ubuntu guy and familiar with desktop notifications and
updates, but this seems pretty strange to get what appears to be the
same file daily, that is 0 bytes in size. Can someone tell me what
is going on with this or is it a bug? Thanks.
Did you install the update when it asked?
The reason the update is 0 bytes in size is because the package is a
meta-package, that is, it contains no actual files, but describes
constraints that help ensure your system is properly updated.
If, even after installing the update, you continue to see update
prompts, there is indeed a bug.
