You're right that it's independent of your changes. The problem
actually comes from the "too new" dependencies when we publish the
-0.91 (say) version of SUNWipkg. So Bart has occasionally published
an update "back in time"--onto -0.86, or -0.79, or whatever--so that
there's an up-to-date SUNWipkg that doesn't require a newer Python.
There are a couple of questions here, which have come up before:
- should pkg(5) self-update automatically?
- should we always publish up-to-date pkg(5) packages at all release
points?
Cheers
Stephen
