In regard to: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] pkg update removes installed...:
I always create a new BE while updating and I'm back to my previous working configuration; I was just baffled by the removal of an active and working service.
Understood, and I'm glad you were able to switch back to a working config. How often do you update? My experience is anecdotal at best, but with the rolling release model OI uses, I've found that the updates are easier if I don't go too long between updates. I personally try to update at least every 4-6 weeks, but sometimes it ends up being more like 3 months. The longer I go between updates, the more likely I'm going to run into complicated deprecations.
BTW, I cannot even install it right now on a old Openindiana installation because latest postgres-10 depends on newer incorporations.
Someone that's better with pkg than I am can probably offer some suggestions, but with the right incantation it *might* be possible to update not to latest but to an older point in time. For example, you can use something like pkg list -af userland-incorporation to get every available version of that package. 'pkg update' supports an @<version> specifier, but I don't know (actually, I doubt) if it's as simple as something like pkg update -v userland-incorporation@0.5.11-2023.0.0.17799 Alternately, if you can figure out what version of postgresql-10 is tied to the incorporations you currently have, then you can do something like pkg install -v postgresql-10@<version that matches your incorp> Hopefully someone that knows pkg better can offer some suggestions on what is and what is not possible with OI and "stepped" updates.
