Caution – When upgrading and adding and removing packages or patches, Solaris
Live Upgrade requires packages or patches that comply with the SVR4 Advanced
Packaging Guidelines. While Sun packages conform to these guidelines, Sun cannot
guarantee the conformance of packages from third-party vendors. A nonconformant
package can cause the package-addition software during an upgrade to fail or worse,
alter the active boot environment.
For more information on adding and removing packages with Solaris Live Upgrade,
see the man page, luupgrade(1M). For more information on packaging requirements,
see Appendix C.
