I have a remote system (with no removable media device) running build 86. Based on list archives and bugs, I attempted to upgrade SUNWipkg to a "new enough" version so that I could install 2009.06, whereupon I fell into this:
Package entire contains constraint that requires downgrade of installed pkg pkg:/[email protected],5.11-0.123:20090911T203714Z Because there's no "pkg reinstall", and I didn't know to clone the BE prior to attempting the upgrade, the only apparent remedy is "remove/install". However, having removed SUNWipkg, there's no way to install anything anymore. I find it a little surprising that this is allowed -- IMHO there should be more warning when you touch SUNWipkg this way. (Assuming there's ever another flag day...) Only solution I can think of is the BOFH approach: unpack a tarball with enough SUNWipkg that "pkg fix" will work. _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
