Hi,
   I am testing upgrading sunstudio12u1 to sunstudio12u1(v12.1.1) which is
   the patched version. I've done this testing on two environments:
     * A system that has the latest dev build installed - build 130
     * A system that has 2009.06 installed

   The  steps/results are as follows:
     * Dev system

     * Publisher set to opensolaris.org(dev). Installed
       [1][email protected];build111
     * Added bug13191(test repo with ss12u1;12.1.1) as preferred
       publisher.  Tried "pkg install sunstudio12u1" and this failed with
       "matching multiple packages" error. I therefore tried and installed
       developer/sunstudio12u1.  Running CC-V confirmed that I indeed had
       the latest version of sunstudio12u1 on the system. (I'll send a
       separate email on the import file issues...)

     2009.06 system
     * Publisher set to opensolaris.org(release). Installed sunstudio12u1
       - okay.
     * I proceeded to install developer/sunstudio12u1 (as in the above
       scenario) and ran into :

     d...@cooljaz:/export/home# pkg install developer/sunstudio12u1
     Creating Plan |
     pkg: The following package(s) violated constraints:
         Package [2]pkg:/[email protected],5.11-0.128 conflicts with
     constraint in installed pkg:/entire:
                 Pkg SUNWarc: Optional min_version: 0.5.11,5.11-0.111 max
     version: 0.5.11,5.11-0.111 defined by: pkg:/entire

     In discussing this issue with an engineer on my team, the error
     appears to be the result of "stickiness" i.e. a package can only be
     updated from the same repository it was originally installed.
     Apparently this is true for 2009.06 (though this doesn't appear to
     be true for the dev repo.)

   At this point, I can't do further testing on the "upgradeability" of
   sunstudio12u1 without having a repository completely populated with
   sunstudio versions 12.1 and 12.1.1. However, in doing the "dev" test as
   indicated above, I believe that I've proved that ss12u1 is indeed
   upgradeable.
   Let me know if I need to do further upgrade testing with specific
   instructions on how to mimic the 2009.06 environment.
   Thanks
   Jas
