So, first it is installed by default. What you're seeing is that we had to backpublish a fix to the entire package in order to fix a potential upgrade issue. Entire doesn't contain any packages (merely constrains a set of packages to specific version). You don't need to create a new BE to upgrade entire in this case. You could do: pkg install entire and that will install the new version of entire. Cheers, -- Glenn
