I know I can do a pkg image-update and I will but I just want
the latest SUNWipkg package (for the time being to see if I
have a bug or not).

Packages are currently tied to the underlying build release; the pkg(1) command will install the latest package available for your build.

If we update SUNWipkg for an older build, we'll republish it under the same build_release but using a newer timestamp. The latest version for build 101 is: [email protected],5.11-0.101:20090212T192439Z.

As such, the behaviour you are seeing is expected.


Okay thanks.
