I don't think we're going to change the lack of interactive checks in the CLI much, but I agree that there's a bug about removal dependency checking. (Your example should actually fail, unless recursive removal is asked for.) http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=1254 http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=1728 http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=1776 are all variants of your request.

This issue came up again last week, but has been seen since May: http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=1459 I think there's a bugs.opensolaris.org bug ID for this as well. > Other unpleasantness is the requirement of Gnome for beadm, on a server > i normaly would not like to install Gnome and i guess beadm could work > without gconf.

The new pkg.depotd deployment (this morning) includes Brock's search changes, which include support for searching all the metadata.
