  • /usr/xpg4/bin/awk is not in Solaris 11? nawk is "new awk", an improved AT&T awk. Commented Apr 21, 2017 at 6:23

  • @StéphaneChazelas AFAIK, only full OS installations are tested and declared conformant when complying. Commented Apr 21, 2017 at 12:52
  • @jlliagre, it can't be full OSes (OSes with all optional packages installed) as that wouldn't be practical (there are also packages that are mutually exclusive) and the scope of "optional package" would have to be defined. Commented Apr 21, 2017 at 13:11
  • @StéphaneChazelas Yes. While Solaris 10 had the concept of entire distribution and effectively installed all packages (outside the unselected locale ones), this is no more the case with Solaris 11. My best guess is the "solaris-large-server" group is used for POSIX compliance tests. Commented Apr 21, 2017 at 14:03
