The wording in that error is a bit confusing, shouldn't "to install" be
"to uninstall"? Some form of force option may help with these petty
conflicts.
The package system has to ensure the system is in a correct state. It
can't do that unless it can guarantee that all packages agree on what
the correct state.
I know that sucks when you have broken packages, but it's the only way
to ensure that "pkg fix" and "pkg verify" work as expected (among other
things).
That's why pkg doesn't have any force options.
I see, that makes sense.
I hope some of the issues in this thread find their way into the release
notes to assist others.
The contrib repositories are all long gone as noted by the web page up
there now.
I suggest someone adds a note on how to find and remove problematic
opensolaris.org packages. I'm sure anyone who has a system which
started life as an OpenSolaris box with have some.
