error when trying to do a groupdel in a pkgrm

Hi,
I'm creating a package on Solaris 8, and I want to be able to do a
"groupdel" command in a postremove script.

But, I keep getting the following error when it runs:
UX: groupdel: ERROR: Cannot update system files - group cannot be
deleted.

I looked this message up on the web, and did find a summary about the
same problem on the Sun Managers list. It says a workaround is to make
sure that $TMPDIR is unset before calling groupdel. I have tried this
and it still doesn't work. Does anyone have other ideas on this?

Thanks!
