I'm a SmartOS newbie who is trying to figure out what might be interfering with pkgin behavior.

I can "pkgin -y install nano" and everything works as expected. But if I "pkgin -y install nginx-1.6.0", I see the following:
calculating dependencies... done.

nothing to upgrade.
2 packages to be installed: perl-5.20.0nb2 nginx-1.6.0 (16M to download, 61M to 
install)

downloading packages...

where it sits... and sits.... and sits. If I fire up a snoop session, I can see some HTTP activity and some error-responses to DNS requests. But after a few hours, it is still sitting and I still don't have nginx installed.

I'm able to get the packages with wget in less than a second
wget http://pkgsrc.joyent.com/packages/SmartOS/2014Q2/x86_64/All/nginx-1.6.0.tgz

so what is the hangup with pkgin? Any tips on where to look would be appreciated. Alternatively, is there an easy syntax for pkgin by which I can just wget the tgz files and point pkgin at them in my local filesystem?

(By way of disclosure, I am a two-day-old SmartOS newbie but I'm pretty comfortable with Solaris 10, zones, zfs, and pkgutil.)
