Please find the relevant logs below: Right. Since /opt/SUNWtest was installed, it needs to be removed, but the output directory isn't known, and so we can't just remove it, as it might have important stuff. So we put it off into a "lost+found" directory. Given the name that's being chosen for that directory, it appears you're using an ancient version of pkg(5) -- certainly before build 91, possibly the original May release. You should definitely upgrade (certainly before asking for more help). You can work around this problem by removing /opt/SUNWtest/output before you uninstall, or you can remove the salvage directory: > '/var/pkg/lost+found/opt/SUNWtest/output-2008-11-14+17:32:27' Alternately, you could point your program to put its output somewhere else, so that pkg(5) doesn't get involved. I don't understand why it's complaining about this directory existing, since it should be generating the name on each invocation, updating the time. It's possible your clock isn't moving, but that's a bit unlikely.
