I don't think it does that, or you would have seen "file not found" or
some such rather than a version error.
Instead, that other package you installed also depends on SUNWcslr[1]
(or depends on something that depends on it). Installing that other
package causes SUNWcslr to be upgraded. But, unfortunately, SUNWtoo
also depends on SUNWcslr and has _not_ been upgraded in the process,
so it fails.
This sounds to me like a bug in the packaging system, and one that you
should report. The problem is that when a dependency is updated,
there are cases where some or all of its dependents must be updated as
well. This libld.so.4 library is a good example of that problem. It
seems that the packaging system doesn't recognize this issue or
doesn't handle it properly. (If you're using OpenSolaris, then
ips-discuss is probably the right mailing list to use.)
In the meantime, as a workaround, I would run a full upgrade after
installing any package.
1. SUNWcslr is an SXCE root package. If you're using OpenSolaris,
the bits it delivers are in SUNWcsl.
