I understood that naming option to be at the users discretion so used it to remind me I'm on a released version. >> I'm a little nervous about proceeding with cmdline pkg commands, since >> it seems something is wrong somewhere. > > The cli tool will provide more informative output. > > What's the output of 'pkg list' ? A hefty list of 621 pkgs... Let me say here that until just recently I've been using the pkgmanager every once in a while when I decided I wanted something else installed... and have had no serious problem to speak of. One thing that struck me as odd about `pkg list' output is that it has the term `dev' in parens like this: SUNWxwopt (dev) 0.5.11-0.111 installed ---- SUNWxwplr (dev) 0.5.11-0.111 installed ---- SUNWxwplt (dev) 0.5.11-0.111 installed ---- SUNWxwpmn (dev) 0.5.11-0.111 installed ---- SUNWxwrtl (dev) [...] I may have done something like decided to move up to dev at some time in the past and then changed my mind... I vaguely recall something like that... but I never actually ran an update that way... and the pkgs all have the [...]111 version on them. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
