I have OpenSolaris 2008.11 installed (it's not a live CD, it's on a hard
drive). I ran packagemanager and set the repo to
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev and it downloaded a lot of packages and said it
needed to create a new BE. After doing that, it errored out with the (poorly
worded and misspelled) error message:
"This is an Live Image. The install operation can't be performed."
So, what does the error really mean and how does one get around it?
This is on my laptop. On my desktop I was able to upgrade my system. Here's
some output that might help:

I tried a upgrade about 3 or 4 times with packagemanager, the last after
rebooting and I still get the same error.
