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.

Creating Plan
pkg: The following pattern(s) did not match any packages in the current
catalog.
Try relaxing the pattern, refreshing and/or examining the catalogs:
compatability/packages/SUNWxwplt
A few things:
1) You didn't provide the right package name, it's
compat*i*bility/packages/SUNWxwplt.
2) This package isn't incorporated until build 144, so pkg list has no
way of excluding it, and thus it should be listed.
