Great - though the term "search" is still misleading/misinterpreted especially for new users

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 Name: SUNWcs Summary: Core Solaris Category: System/Core State: Installed Publisher: opensolaris.org Version: 0.5.11 Build Release: 5.11 Branch: 0.118 Packaging Date: July 7, 2009 9:19:31 PM Size: 24.69 MB FMRI: pkg:/[email protected],5.11-0.118:20090707T211931Z -- Alan Jalal, Abdel wrote: > Thanks Paul for the updates.
