pkgrm command + force command to delete all files and how to

Question

when I removed the package - Solaris_add-point package ( VIA pkgrm command ) I see from output the lines "shared pathname not removed"

please help me to understand what this mean

and if we can to force pkgrm command to remove the shared pathnames ?

example from pkgrm output

## Removing pathnames in class <none>
/etc/cn/scripts/fmt.ksh
/etc/cn/scripts <shared pathname not removed>
/etc/cn <shared pathname not removed>
/etc <shared pathname not removed>

Answer 1

It means other packages are still installed that use those pathnames and they won't be removed until all those packages are removed.

This is a good thing. You really really really really do not want the /etc directory removed - that would kill the OS on the machine and make it impossible to boot.
