I have a theoretical question regarding updates of cfengine binaries on
Solaris systems. I've not tested this yet, so I'm just looking for
comments from anyone who has experience with this. If cfengine is
installed as a package, when cfengine pulls updated binaries from the
policy server, that would screw up the local package database (i.e.
/var/sadm/install/contents) due to differing checksums. On the other
hand, you can't have cfengine do a package uninstall then reinstall
since the uninstall would wipe out the binaries trying to do the update.
(At least Linux can do rpm updates. I've always hated Solaris packages
and patches.)

 

Is my assessment correct or am I missing something?

 

Thanks,

Justin
