  I did this once but history wasn't long enough.  Now I get:
pkg install pkg:/developer/debug/gdb
Creating Plan (Solver setup): \
pkg install: No matching version of developer/debug/gdb can be installed:
   Reject:  pkg://openindiana.org/developer/debug/[email protected]
   Reason:  This version is excluded by installed incorporation 
consolidation/userland/[email protected]

This happens because you haven't updated your OI installation for a while. The latest userland-incorporation is 0.5.11-2025.0.0.31780. You have to run "pfexec pkg update -v" in order to update your system. This will create a new boot environment and you need to reboot into that.

Background: userland-incorporation is a meta package that creates a baseline of all oi-userland packages that work together (or rather should work together). It is incremented with every successfully published PR.

In a perfect world you would be able to install an appropriate version of gdb (the one that was recent when your version of userland-incorporation has been created). But as we have limited resources we need to "clean up" the repository. When this happens only the latest FMRI's of all available packages will be kept. This is necessary because when the amount of package revisions will grow, pkg operations will need more memory and time to finish. When a certain limit is reached pkg operations can get really slow and blow low memory installations.

Why did "pkg search gdb" not find it?

Where is it?  I am running:
SunOS hipster 5.11 illumos-d0efbbf6c9 i86pc i386 i86pc
I've added the two other publishers but find no mention of gdb or any other 
debugger for binary files using pkg search with anything I can think of that is 
relevant.

Really a compiler without a debugger?  Gad!
Thanks,Reg

pkg install pkg:/developer/debug/gdb
pkg contents pkg:/developer/debug/gdb
