[Pkg] [OpenIndiana Distribution - Bug #4258] Pkg fails updating in Hipster, when /opt (without onbld) is mounted on separate dataset

[illumos project]

Issue #4258 has been updated by David Mackay.


I experienced the same issue. As a workaround, before updating I would rename _/opt/onbld_ to _/opt/onbld.tmp_ and then perform the update.

The update would install its files to _/opt/onbld_-- but not on the seperate _/opt_ dataset, rather, on the ROOT boot-environment it created. Therefore I mounted the boot-environment the update created to _/mnt_, renamed _/opt/onbld.tmp_ back to _/opt/onbld_, and done *cp -r /mnt/opt/onbld /opt/*, followed by *rm -rf /tmp/opt/onbld* so as to avoid mounting issues after rebooting into the new boot-environment.

OI Hipster fails to update on pkg error. (from 7de6f2c to 2013-10-22 09:35)
Seems like it wants to use /opt for something
and I mounted /opt to separate zfs dataset and it previously failed to mount /opt and launch GUI login, untill /opt was deleted and dataset mounted to /opt.
So on every update it fails to recognize mounted /opt , make new one and create /opt/onbld and then fails to present GUI.
And now pkg fails to update (this is new).
