Odd indeed. But without more details, there's not much we can do to help. Glad you got it working, at least. >>> $ pfexec pkg refresh >>> >> With OpenSolaris 2008.11 and above, I think, you don't need to explicitly >> issue a refresh command. > > Is that true? I didn't know that. Yup. All image-modifying operations will bring the catalog up to date. We're talking about reducing that a bit (querying the server just to find out the catalog hasn't changed takes a bit of time), by allowing the server to specify how often it expects to be updated, and getting the client to follow those suggestions by default. But that's future work. Danek
