I was trying to image-update to b129, and I wasn't going to be put off by the request to upgrade the pkg command:

$ pfexec pkg image-update -nv
Creating Plan - WARNING: pkg(5) appears to be out of date, and should be updated before
running image-update.  Please update pkg(5) using 'pfexec pkg install
SUNWipkg' and then retry the image-update.


However, I didn't expect the following command to begin downloading everything:

$ pfexec pkg install -v SUNWipkg
Creating Plan -

Is this expected?
Whilst in my case this update is a prelude to an image-update anyway, I did not expect to have to wait for all 300Mb to download simply to update the pkg command.


Regards,
Brian
