If you want to see why you can't go to a specific version, then you'll
have to try to install that specific version with something like:

pfexec pkg install --no-refresh -nv \
    pkg:/[email protected],5.11-0.146 \
    pkg:/consolidation/xvm/[email protected],5.11-0.146 \
[...]
    pkg:/consolidation/gnome/[email protected],5.11-0.146

BTW, I think an easier to type/paste way of doing that would be:

pfexec pkg install --no-refresh -nv \
     pkg:/[email protected],5.11-0.146 \
     `pkg contents -Hr -t depend -a type=incorporate \
        -o fmri pkg:/[email protected],5.11-0.146`

That way you don't have to worry about making sure you pasted all the
right consolidation incorporations, especially when they change.


thx Alan, as usual your help is spot-on.

for the record, here's how I resolved this (note, this is from memory, if I miss a step, please point it out!):

- create a new BE based on the current one
- mount this new BE on /mnt

the following 'pkg' commands all use "-R /mnt"

- 'pkg uninstall `"pkg list -v | awk '/KDE/||/bionicmutton/||/FOSS/||/kdeips/ {print $1}"`'
- 'pkg unset-publisher kdeips-dev'
- 'pkg image-update'
- add back the kde repo
- 'pkg install' kde packages (KDEbase-apps and KDEgdm-integration for starters).

cheers
Michael
