Bug 19509

Summary:	Cannot install Netscape from CD at install time
Product:	Base System	Reporter:	Gregory Bond <gnb>

Description Gregory Bond 2000-06-26 02:10:02 UTC

When doing the initial install from the WC CD, it is not possible
to install the Netscape-4.72 package.  Before attempting to extract
this package, sysinstall attempts to extract the Xfree86-aoutlibs-3.3.3 
dependency, but that install fails.

I _think_ this is due to the pkg install not properly fixing ldconfig
in the funny MFS-based install environment, so the newly-installed
dep libs aren't found.

Using /stand/sysinstall after rebooting the system to install the
Netscape package works as expected.

Fix: 

Workaround: Reboot the newly-installed system before attempting 
to install Netscape.

[If this can't be fixed in sysintsall (or pkg_add), perhaps this
package should not be on CD1, or perhaps sysinstall can notice that
this package should not be installed at sys install time.]
How-To-Repeat: 
Boot a 4.0 install CD, install a system, and attempt to install 
Netscape 4.72 package.

Jeremy, this looks like a problem with the Xfree86-aoutlibs 
package.  Could you take a look?

This was indeed a problem for 4.0-RELEASE.  Fixed in rev 1.158 
and merged onto RELENG_4 in time for 4.1-RELEASE.

Duh, my bad.  It's rev 1.158 of src/release/sysinstall/config.c .

Ciao,
