I tried doing a liveupgrade using the SXCE 101 DVD.  No luck.  

I also tried using the following document to figure out what other packages 
should be updated:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-9-72099-1

I then recreated the 2nd boot environment, but again liveupgrade didn't work.



I then tried manually updating all the GNOME and xorg packages (as well as 
related packages for things like glib2, pango etc.)      I wanted to see if I 
could at least get the latest SUNWfirefox working.   At this point I figure I 
will have to do a clean install, if not this week at least in the near future.

At some point I tried updating the SUNWlibC package, which seems to have broken 
7zip and thus broken installing any packages that required.  

I was able to use luactivate to change the default boot environment, reboot 
into the 2nd boot enviroment (this is a nice recovery option) and run pkgadd -R 
... to fix my missing packages.  At that point I then asked myself why I hadn't 
just tried updating the 2nd BE with pkgadd -R instead of messing with the 
active system.

Since I was in the 2nd boot environment (my generally stable one), I tried 
running liveupgrade to update the first boot environment.

luupgrade -u -n solenv1 -s /mnt/iso


And it now is saying  "Upgrading Solaris: 43%"
