Re: pkg/45289: Using pkg_add command from pkgsrc on Solaris 10 zones

[Zdenek Tlusty <tlusty%vse.cz@localhost>]

Hello Joerg,

the command mkdir /usr/pkg should fail with two errors - EEXIST and EROFS.
Regarding of POSIX XSH Section 2.3 Error Numbers
(http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/xsh_chap02_03.html)
 there is no precedence if more than one error occurs:

"If more than one error occurs in processing a function call, any one of
the possible errors may be returned, as the order of detection is
undefined."

The EROFS is correct error and this behaviour is POSIX compliant.

Please, correct me if I am wrong.

Best Regards,

Zdenek
