Yep, this was a known bug:
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=110

and can be fixed after you've installed Indiana using the instructions
to refresh the install at:

If you just want to fix old packaging tools, you can do

# pkg refresh
# pkg install SUNWipkg
# pkg install SUNWpkgcmds

[ this was covered on this alias a while back - a quick Google search
found several hits ]

        cheers,
