Hi Eric
If you don't mind, I like
`pkg-get` is not an LPMS as you'd call it, it's a
script that adds `apt-get` like functionality and
uses Sun's native SVR4 software management subsystem.
If this is the case then pkg-get is a Hyper PMS only support Solaris OS.
Sorry, I did not research pkg-get's architecture.

Are you using apt4rpm with Solaris 10 and OpenPKG?

Lets start working on solutions anyway. Just in case you run out of breath
