Ok, with this trick I was able to reproduce it. The problem looks
like the SUNWifbgl and SUNWifbgx packages not being installed. They
were supposed to be installed in 9.0.8, but they failed with:
pkgadd: ERROR: packaging file </afs/dev.mit.edu/system/sun4x_58/cdro
/SUNWifbgl/pkginfo> is corrupt
file size <761> expected <759> actual
file cksum <60243> expected <59784> actual
Installation of <SUNWifbgl> failed (internal error).
pkgadd: ERROR: packaging file </afs/dev.mit.edu/system/sun4x_58/cdro
/SUNWifbgx/pkginfo> is corrupt
file size <799> expected <801> actual
file cksum <62861> expected <63142> actual
Installation of <SUNWifbgx> failed (internal error).
When I installed both of these packages by hand, proe was able to
run successfully.
Miki: It looks like changes were made to the pkgmap files in
/install/cdrom/cdrom.link for these two packages that make them fail.
Greg and I have more details on this; can you fix them so we can readd
them in the next 9.0 patch release?
