I don't get this error with the version I'm using. What version do you have?
>From the error message, it looks like pkg might be confused about what usage string to give you for the combination of -n and --help operands with the update subcommand or its image-update alias. I shouldn't think you need to use -n if you want --help. What happens if you use just the latter? bayard@screendoor:/data/projects/userland/oi-build/components 08:07:54 [3464]$ pkg version 90c532b69592+ bayard@screendoor:/data/projects/userland/oi-build/components 08:08:26 [3465]$ pkg list pkg NAME (PUBLISHER) VERSION IFO package/pkg (oi-experimental) 0.5.11-1.1 i-- bayard@screendoor:/data/projects/userland/oi-build/components 08:08:59 [3467]$ pkg image-update -n --help Usage: pkg update [-fnvq] [-g path_or_uri ...] [--accept] [--licenses] [--no-be-activate] [--no-index] [--no-refresh] [--deny-new-be | --require-new-be] [--be-name name] [--reject pkg_fmri_pattern ...] [pkg_fmri_pattern ...] On Sat, Feb 11, 2012 at 6:37 AM, Lou Picciano <loupicci...@comcast.net>wrote: > Unsure where we'd want this reported - so...
