Hi Shawn,
it would be interesting to know more details
about this behavior.
Why does pkginfo return the [IPS-only] info for some
packages
$ grep SUNWhea /var/sadm/install/contents
$ pkg info SUNWhea
Jm?no: SUNWhea
Summary: SunOS Header Files
[snip]
$ pkginfo SUNWhea
system SUNWhea SunOS Header Files
but clearly not for all (SUNWmysql5)?
