My Sun got the following error during its 9.4.3 update:

MIT-openafs
41753 blocks
Install_root(-R option) requires an absolute pathname.
pkgchk: ERROR: Command line install root contends with environment.

Installation of <MIT-openafs> was successful.

This is due to my not properly handling the case where the install
root variable's value is null, in the recent postinstall change to
clean up old paths from the pkg database.  I will submit a patch...

Bob
