Currently the Java Runtime package only installs GNOME file association support if GNOME has already been installed. This forces an undesirable ordering for package installation (i.e. Java packages *must* be installed after GNOME packages for the GNOME associations to be made).

As of s10_59 with Java 1.5 build 49, the same setup still fails as follow even though the error is slight different, this is the log with pkginstall -v mode:

This also showed up in upgrade in s10_59. I did the following upgrade on sparc and intel:

OS: s9u6_FCS
Media: CDs
Cluster: SUNWCXall
Locales to install: All locales
Locale to display: C

Then I upgrade to s10_59 as follow:

OS: s10_59
Media: CDs or DVD
Upgrade method: upgrade with DSR

The upgrade_log shows the following failure for SUNWj5rt:

This failure had been seen on the following test configurations:

1. Upgrade from S9 to s10 and only with upgrade with DSR.

2. Diskless client install when platform of server/client are not the same.


There are a couple of issues with the postinstall script:

1. The postinstall script try to check for the existence of SUNWgnome-vfs-share and do something. However, in the case of an upgrade with DSR, the upgrade will not back up the information of SUNWgnome-vfs-share package. This package is on the 2nd CD and will always install after SUNWj5rt. Thus upgrade with DSR will always fails since the directories you are looking for does not exists.

2. If you look at the postinstall script, it did the following for the theme directories:

        # the various them directories may need to be created if no themes
        # have ever been installed before
        $MKDIR -p ${PKG_INSTALL_ROOT}${SHARE_HIGH_CONTRAST}
        $MKDIR -p ${PKG_INSTALL_ROOT}${SHARE_HIGH_CONTRAST_INVERSE}
        $MKDIR -p ${PKG_INSTALL_ROOT}${SHARE_LOW_CONTRAST}



Perhaps the postinstall script should also do the same thing to create the GNOME mime-info directory.
