I just attempted to upgrade my OpenSolaris build 131 AMD64 system to
build 134, and failed miserably. Here's what happened:
First, since this step is normally required, I tried to do "pkg install
SUNWipkg". That didn't work. It failed (after downloading well over
1GB) telling me that I had to use an alternate boot environment due to
the nature of the update.
Do you have packages from /contrib installed? If so, they have
incorrect dependencies which caused the solver to incorrectly attempt to
upgrade you to a new build. The solver in b134+ doesn't allow that.
The solution is to remove /contrib (or /pending) packages and try again.
Hmm. I'd removed those once before. I thought the problem was fixed.
No, the /contrib packages still haven't been updated. The solver in
b134+ is armored against it, but I think you might still have to remove
the packages first.

I next did (as root; I'm still old school in some respects):
beadm create opensolaris-8
beadm mount opensolaris-8 /mnt/tmp
pkg -R /mnt/tmp install SUNWipkg
Err...not quite right. See FAQ B1:
http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+pkg/FAQ
That link just hangs. I guess I'll read it another day.
All of www.opensolaris.org seems unloadable right now :/
