Thanks Danek, unfortunately the script does not plan to fix anything on my system. I also find out that I cannot run the packagemanager (UI does not start) and really suspect that *.pyc files in SUNWPython and/or SUNWipkg-gui are corrupted. Unfortunately pkgfix ignores the *.pyc files now.

I assume the zpool is on a second disk(s). If so, zpool export pool, do the installation of _95 and zpool import pool. Your data will be safe even if you don't export the pool, but, I'm paranoid. I used to do it that way before I decided to try Live Upgrade. --ron This message posted from
