Wanting to get vms running that I brought over when making the move to

So, went back to 5.0.28 and I can see it wants to install .. it went
like this (large chunks elided):
root # pkgadd -d ./VirtualBox-5.0.28-SunOS-amd64-r111378.pkg
The following packages are available:
1 SUNWvbox Oracle VM VirtualBox

Current administration requires that a unique instance of the
<SUNWvbox> package be created. However, the maximum number of
instances of the package which may be supported at one time on the
same system has already been met.
No changes were made to the system.
root # pkgrm SUNWvbox
The following package is currently installed:
SUNWvbox Oracle VM VirtualBox
(i386) 5.1.6,REV=2016.09.19.10.01.110634

Removal of <SUNWvbox> was successful.
So, I did have a Vbox pkg failure with an earlier attempted install of
vbox version 5.1.16 and apparently it was seen as installed.
So, as above I ran pkgrm and was told the pkg was successfully
removed.
Then again ran:
pkgadd -d ./VirtualBox-5.0.28-SunOS-amd64-r111378.pkg
The following packages are available:
1 SUNWvbox Oracle VM VirtualBox

I wondered if this might be something fairly easy to fix, but don't
have much of a clue as to where to start.

Hi Harry,
I had the same problem. I'm not in OI at the moment, but I think it's
in /var/pkg or similar where there's a bunch of left-over stuff that
doesn't get deleted properly and has to be deleted manually. Do a find
for vbox in /var and that will probably put you in the right direction.
I have had similar issues with VirtualBox and I installed a special
Hipster version that was given to me. I cannot find the link now, but
if necessary, I can post it somewhere for you. It also required boost
and boost/g++ from the SFE repo.
Thanks,
Will Brokenbourgh
