Does this fix the issue where postinstall complains if /var/db/obsolete
exists but is empty?:

eros# /etc/postinstall check
Source directory: /usr/src
Target directory: /
postinstall check:
defaults check:
mtree check:
gid check:
uid check:
periodic check:
rc check:
ssh check:
wscons check:
makedev check:
postfix check:
obsolete check:
eval: cannot open /var/db/obsolete/*: no such file
sendmail check:
postinstall checks passed: postinstall defaults mtree gid uid periodic rc
ssh wscons makedev postfix sendmail
postinstall checks failed: obsolete
To fix, run:
    /etc/postinstall -s /usr/src -d / fix obsolete
eros# /etc/postinstall -s /usr/src -d / fix obsolete
Source directory: /usr/src
Target directory: /
obsolete fix:
eval: cannot open /var/db/obsolete/*: no such file
postinstall fixes passed:
postinstall fixes failed: obsolete

... I've been wondering about that behavior for a while.
