Michal, Well, I tried the command line and got this output:
pfexec pkg image-update DOWNLOAD PKGS FILES XFER (MB) Completed 644/644 42033/42033 699.16/699.16 pkg: attempt to mount opensolaris-6 failed. pkg: image-update cannot be done on live image So, it seems to be a bug, unless it's a permissions problem.
