I'm not sure that OmniOS wants to be responsible for the correct operation of
pkgin (not even opening the can of worms that
are the packages that it provides).
There is also the issue that there are 32-bit and 64-bit versions of
the packages and different package manager binaries for each. I
installed the 64-bit versions on my OpenIndiana system and learned
that they are very 64-bit. For example, the GCC compiler produces
64-bit code by default. Linking behavior is also different.
Putting the pkgsrc-installed packages in my executable search path
caused stability problems for my software development practices
(introduced build problems) and so I have removed it from my
executable search path.
