Thanks for your response Shawn. Do you know if an RFE exists for this functionality?

Even though what I'm doing may not be 'supported', I would have thought that http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=2792 would prevent newer versions of packages being installed than what was requested in the branch.

Dependency resolution currently works by treating specified versions as a 'minumum' version; not an exact version. This means that if you specify [email protected], you will get the newest version.

The other issue at hand is that the current dependency solver can't backtrack to find suitable versions. So success or failure greatly depends on what the contents of your 'entire' package is.

Cheers,
