Updating to build 90 using 'pkg' command causes lots of things to break. This has happened to me on two different PCs, so it is not just a one-off. Vanilla install of OpenSolaris 2008.05 (Indiana) from live CD, then #pkg image-update from terminal will update the system to build 90, giving you a choice of builds in grub. The latest packages seem to be corrupted, files are missing, things don't work. I have installed build 90 of Nevada on one of these machines and these problems do not exist. Below is a list of some of the problems:
1.) Cups will not take a password, doesn't authorize, even as root. 2.) SMB server will not join a domain. 3.) Kerberos not installed properly, /usr/lib/krb5/ is missing files, krb5kdc is missing so service will not start. 4.) CD and DVD writing will not work, wipes out just when it tries to burn. Some packages installing GUI based software add application menu icons, some don't, not sure if that deliberate but it's off-putting for someone used to aptitude packages. Generally it feels less responsive and less stable than build 90 of Nevada installation.
