[indiana-discuss] legacy package dependancies

[Josh Lange]

I recently installed blastwave on project indiana, and tried to pkg-get
mplayer. Not surprisingly, pkgadd was not aware of any of the system
packages, and the installation abruptly failed with a missing dependency:

ERROR: no info for SUNWcsl. Cannot install dependancy.
ERROR: could not install required dependancies for CSWaalib
ERROR: install of CSWaalib failed
ERROR: could not install required dependancies for CSWmplayer


After searching around I found several postings to the indiana list:
http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/indiana-discuss/2007-November/003805.html

and a fix:
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=7


I updated my system with:
pkg refresh
pkg image-update

I got it to run, and exit without error. (I had to umount /lib/libc.so.1).


Unfortunately, pkginfo still does not have any info about the legacy
dependencies (even basic ones like SUNWcsl):
# pkginfo
system      CSWcommon      common - common files and dirs for CSW packages
system      CSWpkgget      pkg_get - CSW version of automated package
download tool

and blastwave still does not work.  Is there a special root I have to
install? if so, where can I pick it up?


Thanks in advance,

Josh
