transcript of pkgadd

[Ramshankar Venkataraman]

Did you have additions previously installed, and cleanly removed before installing the newer ones?

[steve]

I had guest additions 2.1.4 installed. After upgrading to 2.2.2 I booted the solaris guest, removed the old guest additions with pkgrm, rebooted the solaris guest, and installed the new guest additions. The pkgrm did not appear to generate any errors.

[Juergen Keil]

I suspect that it's a bug in the postinstall or preremove scripts for SUNWvboxguest 2.1.4

When I pkgadd & pkgrm SUNWvboxguest 2.1.4, not all files are removed in /opt/VirtualBoxAdditions/. Six files aren't removed.

And when I pkgadd SUNWvboxguest 2.2.2 when /opt/VirtualBoxAdditions isn't empty, I get exactly the errors from the attachment.

Please reopen if still relevant with VBox 3.2.8.
