What is the output of "pkg publisher" ?
PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS URI
dev (preferred) origin online

opensolaris.org origin online
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/
Looks like there are two instances of dev
I'm removing the one I added now... seems to be taking a while
That appears to have fixed things.
When I looked at the repos listed in the pkg manager after first boot
I saw the name opensolaris.org Which normally would indicate release
not dev.
Then at your prompting I see the url is to dev after all... but
meantime I added another dev repo.
That confusion could have been easily avoided by the installer not
having named the repo opensolaris.org. That should be changed so that
its obvious it is dev and not opensolaris.org/release
It is intentional that the publisher is named 'opensolaris.org', the
publisher name isn't intended to reflect which repository you are
currently using for a given publisher.
For example, the publisher could be 'opensolaris.org', but you might be
getting the packages from 'http://internal.company.mirror/'. Does that
make sense?
The publisher name is the 'identity' of the organisation or individual
providing the software.
In the future, we plan on adding duplicate checks to prevent the
addition of multiple publishers that use the same repository URIs to
prevent this from happening among other things.
