Hi Andrew,
A colleague of mine had similar problems installing Sun Studio 12, and
tweaked the PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT value. This worked for him, and after
doing the same, I could install Virtualbox as well:
# export PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT=300
# pkg install virtualbox
DOWNLOAD PKGS FILES XFER (MB)
Completed 2/2 324/324 74.0/74.0
PHASE ACTIONS
Install Phase 401/401
PHASE ITEMS
Reading Existing Index 8/8
Indexing Packages 2/2
I suggest you also give that a try :)
Kind regards,
Patrick.
