I was working to upgrade the version of a desktop package called
data/docbook
which essentially is made up of with 4 FOSS moudles
sgml-common
docbook-dtds
docbook-style-dsssl
docbook-style-xsl
I found that there is no easy way to even test my builds due to
intertwined dependencies.
Since I need to remove data/docbook on my machine to install my newly
built packages,
that pull in the following dependencies:
# pkg uninstall data/docbook
Creating Planpkg uninstall: Cannot remove
'pkg://solaris/data/[email protected],5.11-0.164:20110422T153159Z' due to
the following packages that depend on it:
pkg://solaris/developer/documentation-tool/[email protected],5.11-0.164:20110422T160213Z
pkg://solaris/print/lp/[email protected],5.11-0.164:20110422T191148Z
pkg://solaris/developer/gnome/[email protected],5.11-0.164:20110422T160513Z
So try uninstall developer/gnome/gettext
# pkg uninstall developer/gnome/gettext

pkg://solaris/developer/gnome/[email protected],5.11-0.164:20110422T160518Z
so trying to uninstall library/gnome/gnome-component

As the list continue, I literally need to uninstall the whole of GNOME
consolidation before I can remove data/docbbook. At that point, I don't
think I will have an environment that I can work on.
Any suggestions/ideas on how to approach this?
Surely, there must be a easy way to do this.
Put on my most optimistic head gear :)
Thanks,
