pkg/36415: mk/bulk/do-sandbox-build fails on Solaris 9
>Number: 36415
>Category: pkg
>Synopsis: mk/bulk/do-sandbox-build fails on Solaris 9
>Confidential: no
>Severity: serious
>Priority: medium
>Responsible: pkg-manager
>State: open
>Class: change-request
>Submitter-Id: net
>Arrival-Date: Wed May 30 12:45:00 +0000 2007
>Originator: Ulrich Habel
>Release: Solaris 5.9/sparc
>Organization:
>Environment:
SunOS sun-install 5.9 Generic_122300-07 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240
>Description:
On Solaris the shell "sh" seems to be terribly broken. It's known for a longer
time, however do-sandbox-build is a script that uses "/bin/sh" in hardcoded
form and so the script fails with the following error:
mk/bulk/build: error:
Error reading the variables.
Try running mk/bulk/build with another shell.
>How-To-Repeat:
run mk/bulk/do-sandbox-build on a Solaris 9 system
>Fix:
A good way would be the detection of the OS - I've attached a small patch to
address this issue:
