Ah ha; so the problem is likely that the manifest was truncated. So: 1) perform an uninstall: pfexec pkg uninstall SUNWdesktop-search 2) remove the manifest file: pfexec rm -f /var/pkg/pkg/SUNWdesktop-search/0.5.11%2C5.11-0.111%3A20090331T075327Z/manifest 3) reinstall the package: pfexec pkg install SUNWdesktop-search (this should cause the manifest to get downloaded again) 4) hope that none of your other manifests are in this condition You can check with: find /var/pkg/pkg -size 0 -name "manifest" In the future this will be solved by a number of changes, but for now, this should get you going again.
