So, while the image-update probably should work (it's possible package
constraints are preventing this somehow), I'd like to point out that
you are using a build132 pkg client to install build111. That may or
may not work. Ideally, you really should be installing build132 if
you're using the build132 package client, since the result is going to
be unusable anyway unless you immediately image-update after doing the
install of 111b.
I can see that it is subtly different from someone image-update'ing from
2009.06. But what happens if one is on 2009.11 sets the publisher to
dev, does a pkg install SUNWipkg and then proceeds to pkg image-update.
Will the version of SUNWipkg not change ?
Unless we back-publish a newer version of SUNWipkg for an older build,
the user won't generally see a new version of SUNWipkg in their current
BE, only the new one.
Even then, newer pkg(1) clients are compatible with images created by
older clients, but the reverse is not necessarily true.
