Hi Brock,
'pkg list' command will only give you the 'installed' package which is
not relevant. I saw this number from the bottom section of Package
Manager. I couldn't find any option to use in 'pkg list' to ONLY list
the total number of known packages within the 'preferred' ips server.
Can anyone shed some light here?
IPS did not allow me to install any of the SPARC based pkgs. I actually
expect these SPARC pkgs should not appear in x86 based systems. Is it
the expected behavior?
The output of 'pkg publisher -a' is:
PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS URI
opensolaris.org-dev (preferred) origin online
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/
opensolaris.org origin online
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release/
Thanks,
Ben

Hi all,
Not sure whether this issue has been reported yet. On my x86 system
with osol0906 installed, the total number of packages are 1706.
However there are quite a few SPARC pkgs exist from this list such as
the following:
How did you find this number? Did you install redistributable? On my
system, pkg list | wc -l gives 751.
* Package name starts with SUNW:

Should the SPARC packages appear in x86 based system? '
Pkg should not have allowed you to install a sparc package on x86. If
this is the case, please file a bug with steps to reproduce.
The 'osnet' package also produced the following error during 'pkg
install':
Creating Plan /pkg: install failed (inventory exception):
No matching package could be found for the following FMRIs in any of
the catalogs for the current publishers:
pkg:/SUNWadmj
What does pkg publisher -a show? You need to have the extra repo added
as a publisher to install that package.

Ben
Thanks,
Brock
