8409 says that you're supposed to pkg fix prior to image-update. If you image-update'd first, I have no idea what state your system is in. > If I change pkg to prefer dev, it still fails fixing pkg:// > opensolaris.org/SUNWckr (which means it's release, not dev anyway since > my release repo tag is "opensolaris.org"?). Dev is pkg.opensolaris.org/dev, whereas release is pkg.opensolaris.org/release. You should have had opensolaris.org pointing to /dev when you performed the initial pkg fix. > Is there a way to pkg fix from my original install CD of 111a? According to 8409, you're supposed to pkg fix first, and then image-update. If you still have a good 111a snapshot, try the steps in that order, and see if things work better. -j _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
