The development repository, pkg.opensolaris.org, has been updated to
Build 91. Additionally, updates to image packaging have been committed
to the 2008.05 version. You can update image packaging for a 2008.05
release via the following steps:
$ pfexec pkg refresh
$ pfexec pkg install pkg:/SUNWipkg at 0.5.11,5.11-0.86
You may wish to update SUNWipkg before updating your image to Build 91.
(You can update to pkg:/SUNWipkg at 0.5.11,5.11-0.90 if you are already
running Build 90.)
Instructions to update OpenSolaris 2008.05 to build 89 or later
================================================================
The command "pkg image-update" can be used to update an OpenSolaris
2008.05 system to build 89 or later. However due to changes in the
GRUB boot system, one must manually update the Master Boot Record (MBR)
to include these latest changes. Note: at present, the packagemanager
graphical utility should not be used for an image update.
If you are already running build 89 or greater (this can be determined
by executing the command "uname -v" and examining the build number
following "snv_"), you can disregard the instructions below.
>>>>>>>>>> IMPORTANT <<<<<<<<<<
Failure to follow these instructions when updating from 2008.05 (build
86) to a later build will result in a system that does not boot by
default and instead the original boot environment must be manually
selected.
In order to update your system to a later build, you should type the
following commands:
$ pfexec pkg refresh
$ pfexec pkg image-update
When "pkg image-update" completes successfully, it will print a message
of the form
A clone of opensolaris exists and has been updated and
activated. On next boot the Boot Environment opensolaris-1 will
be mounted on '/'. Reboot when ready to switch to this updated
BE.
The name of the newly created clone can also be seen by looking for the
"Active on reboot" entry in the output of the "beadm list" command
$ beadm list
BE Active Active on Mountpoint Space
Name reboot Used
---- ------ --------- ---------- -----
opensolaris-1 no yes - 17.06M
opensolaris yes no - 33.92M
First, mount the clone under the /mnt directory
$ pfexec mount -F zfs rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-1 /mnt
Next, update the GRUB configuration on your ZFS boot device(s) using
$ pfexec /mnt/boot/solaris/bin/update_grub -R /mnt
When you're ready to boot into the updated boot environment, you can
reboot(1M) or init(1M) as usual.
Instructions to rollback to the initial OpenSolaris 2008.05 install
===================================================================
The following steps allow a user to rollback to the freshly installed
version of OpenSolaris 2008.05 . Please note that any changes made
since install will be lost. If there are clones or other snapshots that
are descendant of this image they will need to be deleted. In short
this is a work around of last resort.
Boot off a liveCD or liveUSB image.
1. pfexec mkdir /tmp/oldroot
2. pfexec zpool import -f -R /tmp/oldroot rpool
3. pfexec zfs rollback rpool/ROOT/opensolaris at install
(if you have clones or snapshots you will need to use -R)
pfexec zfs rollback -R rpool/ROOT/opensolaris at install

======================================
2119 pidgin(1) is unable to find libnspr4.so
When executed, pidgin(1) will eventually terminate with an
error such as
ld.so.1: pidgin: fatal: libnspr4.so: open failed:
No such file or directory
ld.so.1: pidgin: fatal: relocation error:

Workaround:
Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to
/usr/lib/mps before executing the command.
