I am getting this on the dev tree as well (last 2 days) from an
OpenSolaris instance running under VBox 3.0.0 (on Mac OS X).

Is there a known issue with http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release that's being 
worked on?

Thanks,

I had the same problem trying to install Sun Studio last week.

I agree that this is a fundamental flaw.  Whats kinda funny though is
that its not really IPS's fault, nor is it Zone's fault... just an
unusual intersection of two assumptions.  The only solution currently is
a local IPS mirror, but thats not feasible on a small scale.

Of course, lets not forget that Zone's already has a rocky relationship
with IPS given the non-sparse issue but this may push up the time table.

Any guidance as to what the Zones team is doing to resolve the
non-sparse IPS problem?

We've had a series of issues with our production infrastructure,
some of which should rightly be blamed on me, since my second (third?)
job is to run the pkg(5) infrastructure.  The pkg(5) team is actively
working on these issues.

We made some changes on Thursday in response to the original
issue the poster mentioned on July 2, and things seemed to be better.
The initial problem was created by operator error on my part-- I thought
I had applied a critical fix to a python module, but in fact had only
done the dry run of the patch.  This had the knock-on effect of
reintroducing the horrible 408-errors-of-doom problem we've had
in the past.  For more, see 
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=8903.

Subsequent to that, we've hit a new round of issues, and we've
only partially root caused them.

This was all compounded by my absence over the holiday weekend.

Finally, we know that people want offline zone installation.  We've got
a roadmap which points in that direction, and we're trying to get there.

Apologies,
