Hello all,

I am trying to get my head around IPS, and struggling a tad... I just 
chose an arbitrary, but less run-of-the mill binary to locate 
/usr/lib/labeld from TX, and did "pkg search labeld" on my 2008.05 
installation. The binary is on the system, but the above command 
reported nothing. I then tried "pkg search -r labeld", and received four 
reports, one for "5.11-0.75", one for "5.11-0.79", and confusingly two 
for "5.11-0.86". I then did "pkg install SUNWts", and as expected, the 
.86 version was installed; and my "pkg search labeld" now reports the 
presence of the binary.

The question is, why did my "pkg search" not report anything before the 
"pkg install" was executed, even though the binary was present on the 
system? And why is the ".86" version reported twice in the repository?

What am I missing please?

Thanks and regards... Sean.
