Thanks Danek. I thought I was probably out of luck. While I still have a populated /var/pkg/state/installed directory (I wasn't *that* zealous :-) )I don't think I know enough about the particulars to attempt a recovery (the machine is a vanilla install from liveCD). So reinstalling is probably the quicker (and easier to accomplish with aforementioned head cold) solution. :-) Thanks for the response. -- Glenn _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
