This comment led me to investigate further. The commands below I ran
on a recent version of the illumos source built on an x86 server:
$ find usr -name '*wanboot*' | wc -l
47
$ find proto -name '*wanboot*' | wc -l
27
All of those things called wanboot will be retained. The only thing
that will disappear is the single stand-alone SPARC executable that is
the first file sent to a SPARC machine when it's doing a network boot.
Here are the libraries needed by a SVR4 package command, first on a
SPARC machine that uses those packages:
$ dump -Lv $(whence pkgadd) | grep 'NEED'
[2] NEEDED libpkg.so.1
[4] NEEDED libinstzones.so.1
[6] NEEDED libadm.so.1
[8] NEEDED libcrypto.so.0.9.8
[10] NEEDED libwanboot.so.1
[11] NEEDED libc.so.1
[25] VERNEED 0x14180
[26] VERNEEDNUM 0x5
And now on an x86 machine that uses IPS packages:
$ dump -Lv $(whence pkgadd) | grep 'NEED'
[2] NEEDED libpkg.so.1
[4] NEEDED libinstzones.so.1
[6] NEEDED libadm.so.1
[8] NEEDED libcrypto.so.0.9.8
[10] NEEDED libwanboot.so.1
[11] NEEDED libc.so.1
[25] VERNEED 0x80540a8
[26] VERNEEDNUM 0x5
So, libwanboot.so.1 will be retained too. It's simply a library
that makes calls into the two openssl libraries.
