Please forward this email to smf-discuss and I believe this is a bug somewhere in the Solaris 11 u1 or u2. Reproducible pretty easily.
I have a Oracle x4470 box with Solaris 11 U1 b24 installed and it worked pretty smoothly until I downloaded jdk-7-solaris-i586.tar from Oracle's website and untar the ball and used pkgadd -d . to try to install about 12 pkgs with a lot of warnings during pkgs installation. Then I saw some FMA errors on the console and then something wrong with manifest-import. root@x4470a:/opt# svcs -xv svc:/system/manifest-import:default (service manifest import) State: maintenance since January 23, 2013 05:30:16 PM PST Reason: Start method failed repeatedly, last exited with status 127.
