On some Solaris 10 systems, an agent update did crash with error message
/var/sadm/pkg/check-mk-agent/install/postremove: syntax error at line 19: `(' unexpected
pkgrm: ERROR: postremove script did not complete successfully
If you ran into this error, to make the update perform again, please delete the file
/var/sadm/pkg/check-mk-agent/install/postremove on affected systems.
Technical background:\
The postremove script used the subshell evaluation syntax $(...) that is incompatible to the standard bin/sh shell found on some Solaris 10 systems.
