I installed 2009.06 some weeks ago (fresh install) and then I installed VirtualBox 2.2.4
Today I upgraded to b117 by this commands [i]$ pfexec pkg set-authority -O http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/ opensolaris.org $ pfexec pkg image-update[/i] Then I downloaded VirtualBox 3.0.0 but I have problems uninstalling 2.2.4 (which must be done to install the newer version) So, any hints on how to remove the old version?
