I figured out what was going on; I was getting libgdk and friends from
/usr/athena/lib rather than /usr/sfw/lib; apparently during my update
the SUNWGlib and SUNWGtku packages partially failed to install, with
complaints like this:
ERROR: attribute verification of </root/usr/sfw/lib/libgdk-1.2.so.0.9.1> failed
pathname does not exist
ERROR: attribute verification of </root/usr/sfw/lib/libgdk.la> failed
pathname does not exist
ERROR: attribute verification of </root/usr/sfw/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0.9.1> failed
pathname does not exist
and so forth. I'm not entirely sure what happened, but it didn't happen
on the machine in the test cluster that was installed at 9.2 and updated
to 9.3. My 9.3 update was a little weird for other reasons as well, so
I'm not going to worry about this unless it occurs on someone else's
machine.
