Yes, it doesn't do that yet. It's something we're working on. As I said though, installing .91 of pkg should help some. If you could get .91 installed, I'd be interested to see what your results are then. > Apparently the problem is being worked on: > > http://softwareblogs.intel.com/2008/06/20/opensolaris-old-annd-new-packages/ > > "Bart is a really nice guy and one of the wizards behind a number of > packaging technologies at SUN.

It's actually pkg-discuss, but yes, we are working on this. pkg is still very new, and we're trying to innovate a great deal while providing a stable set of basic functionality.
