That's a corker of a typo. >> I'm not sure I understand why this paragraph above is telling me >> that I >> "may" wish to update it. "may" sounds optional.

Attempting to install the 0.91 version of SUNWipkg just resulted in the same Python traceback I posted earlier. So I uninstalled my CPANperl-ldap package (which had the non-existent optional dependency). Installing the 0.91 version of SUNWipkg now works, and pkg image- update is now doing its thing. Yay! I'll capture the state of my installation during the problem, and raise a bug against pkg tomorrow.

I forget that I'm just used to it and know how to translate. :-) Cheers, Chris _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
