I don't think Opera should be updated because I went into PM, marked it to be updated, and updated it. According to Contrib's web interface: [email protected],5.11-0.101:20090428T172804Z Name: opera Summary: Web Browser Publisher: contrib.opensolaris.org Version: 9.64 Build Release: 5.11 Branch: 0.101 Packaging Date: Tue Apr 28 17:28:04 2009 Size: 40.05 MB FMRI: pkg:/[email protected],5.11-0.101:20090428T172804Z $ pkg info opera Name: opera Summary: Web Browser Category: Applications/Internet State: Installed Publisher: contrib Version: 9.64 Build Release: 5.11 Branch: 0.101 Packaging Date: April 28, 2009 5:28:04 PM Size: 40.05 MB FMRI: pkg://contrib/[email protected],5.11-0.101:20090428T172804Z These two things look the same to me. What is there to be updated? If nothing, then why does pkg, pm, and um keep trying? And why does it only keep trying on one machine rather than on both machines in question? As for Virtualbox, that's slightly more grey as to what *should* be taking place. However, I don't think Virtualbox should be updated because I have since disabled the Extra authority. If disabling an authority is not sufficient to stop it from being used (and packages from it being updated), then what is? And even if, hypothetically, the answer/intended user experience is that once you install a package from Foo, Foo will forever more be checked for updates for that package, then why is only one box insisting on updating Virtualbox; shouldn't both boxes be trying? --joanie _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
