6460977 flash issue with SUNWscn-base due to broken package
 
    The cleanup-scn-base script is "registerd" with both sysidconfig 
    and the flash archive postdeployment mechanism.  saysidconfig uses 
    the script in the location where it is installed by SUNWscn-base 
    (that is, /usr/lib/scn/bin).  The intent was to have the script 
    shared by the flash archive subsystem by creating a symbolic link 
    from /etc/flash/postdeployment to the script located in /usr/lib/scn/bin.
 
    This bug indicates that the flash postdeployment mechanism doesn't 
    like having a symlink.  Therefore, an additional copy of the script 
    will be installed directly to /etc/flash/postdeployment and the 
    script /usr/lib/scn/bin/init-scn-base will be modified to *not*
    create the symbolic link in /etc/flash/postdeployment.
