13:08 Jan 21, 2009 Epm packaging fails on Solaris 2.8 if gzipped package already exists. When running in verbose this seems to be because the "gzip" call asks if it should overwrite the existing package. I suggest changing line 490 of pkg.c to read: if (run_command(directory, EPM_GZIP " -vf9 %s.pkg", name)) Changing the gzip arguments from "-v9" to "-vf9" will force the overwrite of the package and allow the packaging to continue successfully. Cheers.
