That shouldn't happen :( Can you file a bug if you can reproduce it again along with your cfg_cache, and the output of pkg list attached?

Ah, I was assuming that you would rely on the dependencies to reinstall these. The output is just package fmris showing what version the package is going to. So, if you grab the output from the point after "After Evaluation": pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED],5.11-0.101:20081119T235636Z -> None pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED],5.11-0.101:20081119T231330Z -> None pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED],5.11-0.101:20081119T235449Z -> None ...the above just means that each fmri is being uninstalled (going to version None). Still, I would hope you wouldn't have to do this; hopefully we'll have "reinstall" soon.
