Make sure the following patch is in lib/depends.c:

/*@dependent@*/ /*@null@*/ static struct availablePackage *
alFileSatisfiesDepend(struct availableList * al,
        const char * keyType, const char * fileName)
{
    int i;
    const char * dirName;
    const char * baseName;
    struct dirInfo dirNeedle;
    struct dirInfo * dirMatch;

+    if (al->numDirs == 0)       /* Solaris 2.6 bsearch sucks down on this. */
+        return NULL;
