On build 143, I have the package x11/clients installed.

On build 144 it is renamed to compatibility/packages/SUNWxwplt.

On build 143 "pkg list -a" lists both packages x11/clients and compatibility/packages/SUNWxwplt. Running "pkg install compatibility/packages/SUNWxwplt" will fail.

Should "pkg list -a" list the package that can not be installed?

The manpage says:

          "With -a, list installed packages and the newest version of
          packages that are available for installation.  Packages are
          considered to be available for installation if they are
          allowed by the installed incorporations and by the image's
          variants."

This seems incorrect for this example.
