[indiana-discuss] disappearance of SUNWgnu-libiconv and other issues with 111a

[Matt Ingenthron]

Hi all,

I performed an image-update of a system I had at home following the 
/release of 2008.11 to the current /dev so I could test things (file 
issues if needed) and then go back to /release once 2009.06 comes out.

1) Grub seems broken after the update.  The system boots to a "grub>" 
prompt.  Feeding it the equivalent of what is in the menu.lst it will 
boot, but after that boot invoking installgrub did not help with 
subsequent reboots.  The menu.lst is correct.  The most recent thing 
I've tried is doing a beadm activate old/new... we'll see if that fixes 
it.  This is somewhat concerning to me, as it would leave a lot of users 
stuck.

2) New Intel graphics drivers seem faster... especially with 3D... but 
after the driver puts the monitor in low power mode, it never comes back 
to life.  Even an svcadm restart gdm won't kill the old X... it seems to 
try to start another X and fails not finding an adapter.  The only way 
out I've found (from ssh) is to kill (SIGKILL) X, then restart gdm. 
SIGHUP and SIGTERM don't do anything to Xorg when in this state.

3) Something changed with pkg:/SUNWgnu-libiconv.  I verified my old boot 
environment has the files in the package, but I can't make sense of why 
they're all gone in the new one:

I searched for existing bugs with libiconv (in both bugzilla and 
bugster), but don't see anything.  I also didn't see anything in flag 
days, but I suspect this package doesn't come from ONNV, so I'm not sure 
where to look.

Is there an issue here?  Should I file an issue against Indiana (i.e. is 
it packaging) or libiconv (if I can find the cat/subcat)?

Thanks in advance,
