I had the same problem a while back and I think I used set-publisher with -g to add the correct publisher and -G to remove the bad one. It wont let you remove the one with the queer URI (where doe that come from I wonder?), but it doesn't appear to do any harm. -- Ian. ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org

I had the same problem a while back and I think I used set-publisher with -g to add the correct publisher and -G to remove the bad one. correct, you cannot run unset-publisher for any publisher configured with the syspub attribute. to clean up origins for such a publisher you could run: pkg set-publisher -G '*' solaris It wont let you remove the one with the queer URI (where doe that come from I wonder?), but it doesn't appear to do any harm. assuming that the queer uri is the proxy:// one, that one is automatically added into zones via the system-repository service. basically, every publisher and origin accessible in the gz is accessible to a ngz via these type special proxy origins. this ensures that ngz can install software that is in compatible with the gz. ed ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
