Which package delivers the file/directory I can not find?
Back in the day (ahem, Solaris 10 and earlier...) you could use a command like the following to figure out which package was responsible for; e.g.; "/usr/include/math.h", or any other "include/math.h", just in case it is somewhere less obvious:
mashie$ fgrep include/math.h /var/sadm/install/contents
/usr/include/math.h f none 0644 root bin 10514 7356 1249334889 SUNWlibm
In other words, /var/sadm/install/contents was a flat-file index of every file, directory, link, etc. installed on the system. The last field is the package name - "SUNWlibm" in this case.
Things are a little more tricky with the new packaging system in Solaris 11 Express. Here is the equivalent "pkg contents" command:
mashie$ pkg contents -o pkg.name,path -a path='\*/include/math.h'
PKG.NAME PATH
system/library/math/header-math usr/include/math.h

hi Tim,
How about with less typing :
# pkg search '\*/include/math.h'
INDEX ACTION VALUE PACKAGE
path file usr/include/math.h pkg:/system/library/math/header-math@0.5.11-0.151.0.1
(The above finds the package that has the include/math.h file. The package \*may\* be installed, or it might not be)
# pkg info header-math
pkg: info: no packages matching the following patterns you specified are
installed on the system. Try specifying -r to query remotely:
header-math
(Package isn't installed locally)
# pkg info -r header-math

Doesn't "pkg search" do what you want to do?
For old days isn't better just use: pkgchk -l -P math.h ?
