Shawn - thanks. The opensolaris.org/dev vs. ipkg.sfbay/dev publisher
appears to have been the root of my issue.
Some final questions:
- the "-O" option for pkg set-publisher is used by onu and your
instructions below, yet I don't see it in the pkg man page.
- seems the README.pkg file often pointed to for "how to debug pkg
problems" should explain the publisher issue I had (where my bits didn't
include some of the the required packages (e.g. from swf) so the
secondary publisher needs to be ipkg.sfbay). I started with an
auto-install iso and everything I saw told me to change the publisher
from pkg.opensolaris.org/release to pkg.opensolaris.org/dev. I had read
the flag day email referenced on onnv.eng that points to ipkg.sfbay/dev
but had not understood the significance of it.
Seems to me the above two, plus your comment below about a misleading
error message, justify some documentation bugs against pkg.
Thanks again,
cb

This is the real problem. The solver's error message that:
Suitable required dependency pkg:/[email protected],5.11-0.137 cannot
be found
...is misleading. What it should say is "was excluded" instead of
cannot be found. It means "cannot be found" in the most literal sense
-- that is, that the 137 version of SUNWcs couldn't be found in the
list of packages that *can be used* for the operation. But of course
that's rather confusing from an end-user perspective.
If you look at the manifest for [email protected],5.11-0.137, you'll see
that it declares this dependency:
depend fmri=pkg:/library/[email protected],5.11-0.135:20100312T075501Z
Since you've pointed your opensolaris.org publisher at
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev, and your other repositories only
contain b137+ packages, it failed.
If you simply execute:
pfexec pkg set-publisher -O http://ipkg.sfbay/dev opensolaris.org
...then the b135 packages will be available and everything should work
again. Please note that if you have any zones, you'll need to make
this change there too possibly.
