SUMMARY: SUNWsprot (.virtual_packages)

Hi again,

Special Thanks to Davorin Bengez and Bob Plagens...

The problem doesn't exist... I've been very basic using "find" to search for
packages in wrong places... I'm sorry guys :-)

Best Regards,
Miguel

SOLUTION written by Bob:

Anything in the .virtual_packages directory represents a package that 
can be found of the other install disk.  If it is a virtual package on 
disk 1, it will be a real package on disk 2.
