I just attempted to upgrade my OpenSolaris build 131 AMD64 system to
build 134, and failed miserably. Here's what happened:
First, since this step is normally required, I tried to do "pkg install
SUNWipkg". That didn't work. It failed (after downloading well over
1GB) telling me that I had to use an alternate boot environment due to
the nature of the update.
Do you have packages from /contrib installed? If so, they have
incorrect dependencies which caused the solver to incorrectly attempt to
upgrade you to a new build. The solver in b134+ doesn't allow that.
The solution is to remove /contrib (or /pending) packages and try again.
I tried doing "pkg image-update", and that failed, telling me that I had
to install a new SUNWipkg first. That was a bit expected, though
obviously not possible.
Use the -f option to ignore the SUNWipkg version check (which is
probably wrong anyway due to the packages above).
I next did (as root; I'm still old school in some respects):
beadm create opensolaris-8
beadm mount opensolaris-8 /mnt/tmp
pkg -R /mnt/tmp install SUNWipkg
Err...not quite right. See FAQ B1:
http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+pkg/FAQ
Is this a known problem? Did I do something wrong during the upgrade?
What should I have done to recover?
Should I file a bug? If so, what sort of information would be helpful
in diagnosing the failure?
See above.
