ANSWER:

Problem solved by including "cat > $1 <<EOM" within the 'checkinstall' script.
This is what we were missing and once it was added, our problem was solved.

(ORIGINAL PROBLEM)

We've poured over the "Applications Packaging Developers Guide" and followed the
instructions to the letter, but we're still having a problem.

In changing the "CLASSES" variable to a particular class name within the
"checkinstall" script, we have found that the files for that class do not get
installed.

Furthermore, in the "preinstall" script and "postinstall" script, the "CLASSES"
variable does not show the value it was set to in the "checkinstall" script.

Perhaps one of you has a working example that you can share????

We have tried this on both 2.6 and 8 and so far haven't found any answers in the
Sun docs web site nor does there appear to be a bug report, patch, etc for
pkgadd or pkgmk that may be a cause for the problem we're having.

Chimo,
-deb

I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm doing it as hard as I possibly can.
