If you mean the directions for immediate update specified here... http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/indiana/resources/rn3/#Update_Inst ...I did that as directed when I first booted, which is why I knew there was a problem with /etc/nsswitch.conf. > or from syncing against the repository. Is there some sense of "syncing" other than "start package manager and wait for it to display available packages"? (That's a serious question.) You seem to have a very different view of what was installed than I do, yet all I did was install the 2008.05 ISO, do the initial update per above, and go looking for needed stuff in the package manager. I cannot begin to understand why you have additional support that seems to be missing for me. > I'm not completely certain - when you look in Package Manager, you can > see a list of files that come with a package. ...

If the package manager is failing to properly identify files used in a package, then the authors of that package manager should give up and go home. Of course, as I mess around with this a bit more, I've just been pointed to pkgchk, whose man page provides the example "pkgchk -l -p /usr/bin/ls", for which it should "display package installation information"...and yet which produces empty output. So maybe they should go home after all. If I can't get any farther than this pretty soon, I'll just give up on Solaris as yet another lost cause. I get tired of pushing on really fundamental, basic, "just get the system going, ok?" kinds of questions that can't be answered. _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
