I'm adding a few more tips, including the one below, to our upgrade
instructions.

Thanks for the feedback--

This may indicate an overly constrained set of packages are installed.
Try:

pfexec pkg update '*@latest'

That will tell the package system that you're trying to update to the
latest version of all packages.

It will then attempt to determine why it cannot do that.

If you have *any* packages installed from opensolaris.org, you'll likely
need to remove them.

I guess these are the culprits:

pfexec pkg update '*@latest'

I just wanted to say thanks for posting this information here.

I had openoffice and virtualbox installed on mine as well.  pkg
update '*@latest'  was the perfect answer.

This really needs to be added to the solaris 11 install instructions, or even
better the output of pkg update should give the problematic packages when
there is an error like this.

It just does not seem logical to expect this error after the solaris 11
express upgrade from opensolaris was problem free.
