[indiana-discuss] Update to snv_96 failed due to inetd_generic.xml symlink loop

In case anybody else encounters this ...

An image-update from snv_95 to snv_96 just croaked on me, apparently
due to bug 2914 ("dead symlink in SUNWcs package") [1].

Manually removing the symbolic link

    /var/svc/profile/inetd_generic.xml

and then creating an empty file of the same name allows the update
to succeed.
