sconadm requires zoneadm - dependency not registered
I've found this with a few packages on Solaris 10, but this one is particularly annoying.
Packages which want to check that they are running in the global zone tend to do so by running one of the zone* tools. For example, the initsma startup script from SUNWsmmgr does so by running zonename, while sconadm seems to run zoneadm.
However, if I don't have either of those tools installed on a system, it would make sense for the scripts to assume that they aren't zoned and continue anyway, e.g., for initsma, instead of doing
ZONENAME=`/usr/bin/zonename`
try (the dot makes sense if you read the rest of the script):
if [ -x /usr/bin/zonename ]; then
ZONENAME=`/usr/bin/zonename`
else
ZONENAME=.
fi
If that isn't a satisfactory solution, then at least have the packages record the dependency, which they don't currently.
