Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
I'm not sure. This sounds like a installation of Solaris which is not full/complete. I cannot possibly cover all cases, so I feel I can only assume a full installation as the document says. Sorry. The workaround sounds good anyway.
Fair enough. It may well be that the machines that I am struggling with have some kind of reduced Solaris installation.
