Folks,
I currently use OpenSolaris on a Toshiba M10 laptop.
I recently had to rebuild it (bad sectors on a hdd partition slice with rpool)
and installed the last release of OpenSolaris 2009.06 from the live CD and then
updated straight to the 134 build before continuing configuring, etc.
I subsequently attempted adding packages (Sun explorer) which install from a
local repository and reported to install successfully but no files appeared to
be installed (ref. pkg output and /var/pkg/repo output bellow).

During the STB install I noticed a SUNWipkg error (bellow) and decided to
address it before reattempting the SUNWexplo and SUNWexplu package removal and
re-install.
error from 'install_stb_opensol.sh'
pkg: info: no packages matching the following patterns you specified are
installed on the system. Try specifying -r to query remotely:

When I check for the SUNWipkg package it appears it is *not* installed:

When I attempt to *install* it, I am unsuccessful
r...@ayeish: ~ # pkg install SUNWipkg
No updates necessary for this image.
r...@ayeish: ~ #
I read about the /contrib bug and appear not to be impacted by it:
r...@ayeish: ~ $ pkg contents -Ho pkg.name,action.raw -t depend | grep
fmri=entire@ | cut -f1
Note. My grasp of many of the new features of OpenSolaris (which are likely to
be propagated to Solaris) are still in development and serve as the primary
reason I have adopted OpenSolaris (so I can become more familiar with them to
promote adoption).
If anyone can clarify what is going on here it would be appreciated.
