Solaris installing package dependencies check?


On Linux System system if dependency is not met package do not install.

We can check dependency for particular package before installing it.


On Solaris so for I did not find the way how can I check the dependency for some package.

Like I install apache

pkgadd -d /cdrom/soairs10/../Product SUNWapachu

This command installed the SUNWapachu package and does not tell or give any error about its required dependencies.

How can I check what are the dependency list for this package?

Same with Solaris which as far as I know was the first Unix (SVR4) to implement Software packaging before Linux distributions started to do the same with .rpm and later .deb.

You don't need to. The installer checks for dependencies and complain if they aren't met.

Do you mean the package did install but doesn't works because of a missing dependency ? That would be a bug.

You can use that command:
Code:
cat /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWapchu/install/depend
