Description

Dan upgraded to 151a3, and it broke the illumos build.

It turns out that what really broke was pkg in general. As part of the image format upgrade, when he got the new version of pkg it made the permissions of /var/pkg 0700, preventing non-root users from doing anything at all to do with pkg.

That's, obviously, really rather bad.

I think this bug may have existed and been fixedu pstream, so a patch for it should be relatively easy to find.

Dan states that this may be umask sensitivity

Yes. My preferred-root-account has umask 077, which might explain why MY box got wedged, while another just-upgraded OI_151a3 installation doesn't have this problem. (Its umask was 022).

Reviewed for OI-hipster/pkg 12-10-13. Check /var/pkg and other directories and things were still intact. Noted user mentioned a certain setup that caused this issue with an older pkg5 install. Closing.
