[indiana-discuss] SUNWttf-fonts-core upgrade partially fails (b104->b110->b113)

[mary ding]

Paul:

There is a problem with pkgadd of SUNWxwfnt.

6810237 - SUNWxwfnt upgrade is broken in 109 due to issues with bad *ph 
files delivery

The fix is in snv_114.

If you run into problems with fonts, you should do the following:

The workaround should be this:

yes | pkgrm -R /a SUNWxwcft SUNWxwoft SUNWxwfnt SUNWttf-fonts-core
rm -rf /a/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi
rm -rf /a/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi
rm -rf /a/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi
rm -rf /a/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi
yes | pkgadd -R /a -d /path/to/image/Solaris_11/Product SUNWxwfnt 
SUNWxwoft SUNWxwcft  SUNWttf-fonts-core


Then after booting the new ABE, do the following:

# rm /var/cache/fontconfig/*
# /usr/bin/fc-cache -f -s
