Bug Description

The packages for branded zones (SUNWlxr and SUNWlxu) exist in the Nexenta repository, but following the instructions at http://opensolaris.org/os/community/brandz/install/ fails with the tarball install option, as it attempts to invoke /usr/sfw/bin/gtar and fails

This is a trivial fix, but since there is no source package in the repo (I assume it's just straight from alien), I can't just repack it myself- accept this diff instead :)

I get the same problem even after applying the patch, it doesn't even work for a dummy tar file with just a directory inside.

root@nas:/tmp/lx# zoneadm -z debian-etch install -d /tmp/lx.tar
/tmp/lx.tar: error: must be a gzip, bzip2, .Z or uncompressed tar archive.
Installation of zone 'debian-etch' aborted.

Now managed to install debian-etch (2.6) using the tarball method, although networking fails to work and when I reboot the zone it hangs due to an error accessing lx_audio_device.
