It sounds like you switched from dev -> release. I'm not sure that we

it wouldn't be there. The tar stream error occurs when a tar stream

Hmm. I was trying to update 111a -> 2009.06. Is this possible? The
image-update got a long way but had problems due to a known thing with
a straight CD install of 111a on 64-bit hardware (Bug 8409). The cure
is to pkg fix the offending packages (like SUNWckr) but that's what I
can no longer do. I can see SUNWckr on release if I browse on the web
to pkg.opensolaris.com.
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"?).
Is there a way to pkg fix from my original install CD of 111a?
