Since 2.0 pkgutil can use ~/.pkgutil as work directory if you're not root and don't use -W to specify another work directory. Note that this only replaces the normal /var/opt/csw/pkgutil, configuration is still pulled from /opt/csw/etc and /etc/opt/csw (and from command line if specified) unless you specify another location with --config. But the main problem I suspect is that Sun's package tools don't allow for much without being root. Please respond to this first and we'll try to get through all questions step by step. /peter |
