OKay .. some days it doesn't pay to get out of bed in the morning.

This *should* extract that file and overwrite anything involved neatly :

-bash-3.2# cd /
-bash-3.2# sync;sync
-bash-3.2# /opt/csw/bin/star -x -v -U -bz
file=/root/ksh93_integration_20080624_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2
x etc/ksh.kshrc 2934 bytes, 6 tape blocks
x etc/magic 19592 bytes, 39 tape blocks
.
.
.

I have no idea how I managed to bork this up but my session is dead as
a doornail and the extraction of that tarball blew up because star
claims that there was something ... not quite kosher :

x usr/lib/amd64/libast.so symbolic link to libast.so.1
/opt/csw/bin/star: File 'usr/lib/amd64/libast.so' not removed.
/opt/csw/bin/star: File exists. Cannot create symbolic link
'usr/lib/amd64/libast.so' to 'libast.so.1'.

am I dead in the water for any user that was using ksh93 ?
