hi gurus,
So let's pretend we have a package installed but nobody has the original media
or copy of the package file. Is there any way to remove an installed package
from Solaris 9 but, instead of it just disappearing, end up with the original
package file I could use to re-install if necessary?
Yes, the logic behind doing this is rather flimsy. Everyone should have a copy
of all original installation media and all packages/patches ever applied since
the first install. But it's not entirely unreasonable to shift pkgadd into
reverse and end up with the original pkg file. Is it?
TIA,
-John
