Making deprecated pkgchk nonfunctional?: msg#00169

Subject: Making deprecated pkgchk nonfunctional?

Implementing <http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=69910> (unique extension identifiers; implying that different extensions can have identical file names), I have some difficulties to modify pkgchk accordingly.

pkgchk is a deprecated command line tool bundled with OOo (at least deprecated since OOo 2.0, and clearly saying so on every invocation) for which unopkg is the functionally superior replacement (available for a long time now, even before OOo 2.0).

Would anybody have problems changing pkgchk in OOo 2.2 so that it just does exit(EXIT_FAILURE)? (Completely dropping it from OOo 2.2 would not work with the StarOffice update feature. Dropping it would still have to wait until OOo 3.) Let me know if you have any concerns, otherwise I will go ahead.
