If you can suggest ways that we can make this clearer (in terms of

Maybe the command could say when the catalog cache was last updated if
no updates were found.
That sounds like a great idea; and this information is quick and easy to
get.
Perhaps (as an example) instead of this:
$ pkg install SUNWipkg
No updates necessary for this image.
...something like this?
$ pkg install SUNWipkg
No updates are available for the specified package(s).

Please don't put that in "install". Add to "publisher", if you think
it's needed.
Then it doesn't address the issue. The user ran 'pkg install' and it
said no updates were available. If I have to run 'pkg publisher' to see
the last refresh time I might as well run 'pkg refresh'.
The point here was to tell the user when the last refresh was done.
Maybe less verbose would be:
$ pkg install SUNWipkg
No updates are available for the specified packages(s),
If you expected updates run 'pkg refresh' and retry.
