Pkg is really cool. We just switched to a machine that has gone through updates from b103 up to b134 without any really heavy duty use until now. The Thunderbird spell checker wasn't doing any checking, and it turned out the dictionary was missing. Did some poking around and found lots more bits missing. Did # pkg fix --accept Quite a long time and 55MBytes of download later, the spellchecker and a lot of other things now work.
Here's one question - how was it possible to lose so much stuff? A number of permissions were broken (and fixed) too. Pkgs's coolness is that it was able to find and fix all this so effortlessly. It didn't fix the following however, though it may have nothing to do with pkg:
ls -lrt /usr/lib/32
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1 Mar 27 17:43 /usr/lib/32 -> ./ This causes find to have a conniption. Does anyone know what if anything /usr/lib/32 should point to, and be willing to speculate as to how it got set like this? (Sun4u SPARC, b134). FWIW it looks like the update to b134 was done on Mar 27 around that time - update process started at 13:17 with zpool split; booted to new BE at 18:44. There were problems booting the split root pool that took a while to resolve, so the image-update started well after 13:17.
