Good idea! Unfortunately it also does not work, and I suspect the root of the problem is a bug in /usr/sbin/pkgrm command. Here is the output: # printf "y\ny\n" y y # printf "y\ny\n" | pkgrm SPROprfnx The following package is currently installed: SPROprfnx Sun Studio 12 Non-ship 64-bit com

My basic observation, as someone who came into the OpenSolaris community from the outside - even perhaps from the competition
