In my test environment, I ran a depot server as publisher "darrenr"
to provide a custom package during the initial install. I've since
disabled that but now "pkg install" (to install a package from
opensolaris.org) complains because it can't contact "darrenr".
This error occurred even if I did "pkg install pkg://opensolaris.org/...".
I don't understand why it would need to contact "darrenr" if I've
told it which publisher to use to install a specific package.

What seems to work is to use "pkg set-publisher -d darrenr" to
disable the publisher "darrenr".

Shouldn't pkg know if there are any dependencies on packages
from "darrenr" (there weren't) and be able to ignore it if I ask
for a package and specify which publisher to get it from?
