I get the same problem trying to install Sun Studio update 12 on OpenSolaris snv_118.
I did: pfexec pkg install -v sunstudio12u1 It downloaded around 180+Mb when download failed. I retried to install it again, and it pretty fast repeated the download of that part (it was probably cached). But afterward it started to behave strange. When it reaches 186 Mb it falls back to 181 Mb (and the number of files jumps back to 6630 from 6631). And this pattern repeats itself many times until it fails. Here is the part of the output: -------- pfexec pkg install -v sunstudio12u1 Creating Plan | Before evaluation: UNEVALUATED: +pkg:/sunstudio12u1 at 12.1,5.11-0.111:20090617T225413Z After evaluation: None -> pkg:/sunstudio12u1 at 12.1,5.11-0.111:20090617T225413Z None -> pkg:/SUNWj6dmo at 0.5.11,5.11-0.118:20090707T220736Z None -> pkg:/SUNWj6dmx at 0.5.11,5.11-0.118:20090707T220752Z None -> pkg:/SUNWj6rtx at 0.5.11,5.11-0.118:20090707T220814Z None -> pkg:/SUNWj6dvx at 0.5.11,5.11-0.118:20090707T220753Z None -> pkg:/SUNWj6dev at 0.5.11,5.11-0.118:20090707T220725Z None -> pkg:/SUNWj6man at 0.5.11,5.11-0.118:20090707T220756Z None -> pkg:/SUNWj6cfg at 0.5.11,5.11-0.118:20090707T220724Z Actuators: restart_fmri: svc:/application/desktop-cache/gconf-cache:default restart_fmri: svc:/application/font/fc-cache:default None DOWNLOAD PKGS FILES XFER (MB) sunstudio12u1 0/8 6630/8881 181.4/302.0 Errors were encountered while attempting to retrieve package or file data for the requested operation.
