Here is a good reference wiki:
http://wikis.sun.com/display/OpenSolaris/FrequentlyUsedIPSCommandsDemo
"pkg search" looks for actions, not package names. The output you are
seeing with the "*" is the matches for the dependency inside other packages:
$ pkg search -s http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release babel_install*
INDEX ACTION VALUE PACKAGE
depend depend [email protected] pkg:/[email protected]
depend depend [email protected]
pkg:/[email protected]
depend depend [email protected] pkg:/[email protected]
To find if a package is in a repo, you can use "pkg info". No "-s"
option, though:
$ pkg info -r SUNWcs

Thanks Paul for the updates. This is really misleading and in my opinion it's a
bug as you can't search for a specific package without using the wildcard.
Thanks

Subject: Re: SUNWcs missing from repo?
Actually all the packages listed in the default manifest are in fact in the repo but the
syntax of "pkg search" can be tricky/misleading.
This does not work
pkg search -s http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release SUNWcs
pkg search -s http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release babel_install
This does work
pkg search -s http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release SUNWcs*
pkg search -s http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release babel_install*
I get the same results when as above I do a search on the repository web site

Hello,
We suspect that SUNWcs is missing from the repo as we did a search and did not
get any output and this may cause the install to fail as this pkg is included
in the default manifest. Paul Neary has confirmed it and also suspects the
package may be missing from the repo. Can anybody confirm this?
Thanks
Abdel Jalal
