Hi Andrew,
A colleague of mine had similar problems installing Sun Studio 12, and
tweaked the PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT value. This worked for him, and after
doing the same, I could install Virtualbox as well:
# export PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT=300
# pkg install virtualbox
DOWNLOAD PKGS FILES XFER (MB)
Completed 2/2 324/324 74.0/74.0
PHASE ACTIONS
Install Phase 401/401
PHASE ITEMS
Reading Existing Index 8/8
Indexing Packages 2/2
I suggest you also give that a try :)
Kind regards,
Patrick.

Hi Andrew,<br>
<br>
I'm getting the same, so I doubt it's your
specific
system that is the
cause. I tried using Package Manager as well as
command line.<br>
OK, so the problem looks like it is with the
repository itself. Unfortunately there is no contact
email address or telephone number on the extra
repository registration page so I've no idea who to
contact about this problem. Hmmmmm. I'll cross-post
to indiana-discuss in case someone there knows what
to do.
Cheers
Andrew.
Oops - forgot to include the original problem in my CC. Basically downloading VirtualBox
from the "extra" repository fails - it gets to about 57MB then jumps back to
51MB, continues to 57MB then jumps back. It does this a few times then fails complaining
about a network error. A second person has posted to opensolaris-help to say they are
having the same problem, so it looks like it could be a problem with the file in the
repository itself.
Cheers
Andrew.
