Issue #8288 has been updated by Bill Proud.

Sorry, it occurs to me that my comment could have been clearer.  The -G option 
does not exist prior to Solaris 10 and therefore you would indeed have to check 
the OS version.

Bug #8288: Sun package provider should include '-G' flag to pkgadd on install
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8288

Author: eric sorenson
Status: Needs Decision
Priority: Normal

Category: Solaris
Target version: 2.7.x
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: 
Branch: 


One of our teams ran into trouble using the sun package provider on zoned 
hosts. Without the '-G' flag, when run on a global zone, pkgadd attempts to 
install into all non-global zones, which isn't right if the non-global zones 
also run puppet.  According to the man page:

<pre>
     -G

         Add package(s) in the current zone only.  When  used  in
         the global zone, the package is added to the global zone
         only and is not propagated to any  existing  or  yet-to-
         be-created  non-global  zone.  When used in a non-global
         zone, the package(s) are added to  the  non-global  zone
         only.
</pre>

Locally I forked provider/package/sun.rb and made a one-line change to its 
'install' method, please consider taking this upstream
<pre>

125c125
<         cmd = []
---
>         cmd = ["-G"]
</pre>
