Yes, that makes sense. I was also slightly curious what would happen since 
sunstudio doesn't appear to be in the new repos; maybe that's going to be a 
problem too.

Nod. The image-update is now going a lot slower, so hopefully it is thinking 
about doing something useful this time :-)

It would be helpful if pkg could write out the list of pkgs that are stopping 
the image-update from "moving forward". Producing a very similar boot env is 
not helpful, as you get fooled into a useless reboot.

But then, how often is pkg going to encounter this sort of incompatibility?

Cheers,

Chris
