What problem are you seeing exactly? The package system removes old
packages that have been renamed, if no other packages depend upon them.
In trying to reproduce this issue, I wasn't able to find a good example
of a renamed package that I had installed locally, but using 'info -r'
came across a reasonable one:
$ pkg info -r SUNWmutt
Name: SUNWmutt
