OpenSSH-sparc-3.0.2p1.pkg: /usr/local conflicting file
Hi,
Trying to install the Solaris package I made after configure/compilation
under Solaris 8.
My configure settings
---------------------
OpenSSH has been configured with the following options:
User binaries: /usr/local/bin
System binaries: /usr/local/sbin
Configuration files: /usr/local/etc
Askpass program: /usr/local/libexec/ssh-askpass
Manual pages: /usr/local/man/manX
PID file: /var/run
sshd default user PATH:
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin
Random number collection: Builtin (timeout 200)
Manpage format: man
PAM support: yes
KerberosIV support: no
Smartcard support: no
AFS support: no
S/KEY support: no
TCP Wrappers support: yes
MD5 password support: no
IP address in $DISPLAY hack: no
Use IPv4 by default hack: no
Translate v4 in v6 hack: no
Host: sparc-sun-solaris2.8
Compiler: cc
Compiler flags: -g
Preprocessor flags: -I/usr/local/ssl/include -I/usr/local/include
-DPAM_TTY_KLUDGE
Linker flags: -R/usr/local/ssl/lib -L/usr/local/ssl/lib
-L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib
Libraries: -lpam -ldl -lwrap -lz -lsocket -lnsl -lcrypto
PAM is enabled. You may need to install a PAM control file for sshd,
otherwise password authentication may fail. Example PAM control files
can be found in the contrib/ subdirectory
WARNING: you are using the builtin random number collection service.
Please read WARNING.RNG and request that your OS vendor includes
/dev/random in future versions of their OS.
Here below the log of my Solaris package installation:

Installation of <OpenSSH> was successful.
Now the problem I got
---------------------
Before pkg install. /usr/local was a soft link to /local (ln -s /local
/usr/local).
After installation the link is gone and a new /usr/local directory is
created containing only openssh stuff :-(
Thanks for help,
Dominique

Whether a package should include an entry for BASEDIR, I'm not sure(*), but certainly you didn't have to install "conflicting" files, particularly when the only conflict was /usr/local/ and it already existed.

Since I neglected to CC the list, here's what I sent to Dominique-- -----Original Message----- From: Loomis, Rip Sent: Thursday, 20 December, 2001 10:09 To: 'Dominique Frise' Subject: RE: OpenSSH-sparc-3.0.2p1.pkg: /usr/local conflicting file Dominique-- Unfortunately, this is one of those: "Hey Doc, it hurts when I do this..." "Well, don't do that anymore..." situations. You have a non-standard installation method. The Solaris pkgadd doesn't do a perfect job of handling such things, and the only way that the OpenSSH package could handle all such possible cases would be to have an ugly preinstall script that checked for things. Ben's new-and-improved packaging routines are cleaner than my old-and-ugly ones in the older OpenSSH portable versions, and work better for most cases--and I don't think it's likely that scripts to work around situations like this will be added. The correct answer, for future reference, is to answer "No" to the question about installing "conflicting files". pkgadd will then ask you if you want to continue--say yes, and the package should install properly. If it *doesn't* at that point, then let the list know.

OpenSSH-sparc-3.0.2p1.pkg: /usr/local conflicting file
That won't really help you. The second field in the pkgmap file points to the type of the file to install. If it tells pkgadd that /usr/local is a directory it will install a directory and kill your link. You would have to change it to a symbolic link if this should work. There is no way to tell pkgadd not to overwrite a link with a directory... The best way (as someone stated before) is not to install conflicting files and continue without creating /usr/local anyway.
