This happens when a buggy i.manifest is used. If your package has an
i.manifest file which uses SVCCFG_REPOSITORY, then that is your problem.
You can fix it by restarting svc.configd ("pkill configd" as root).
Then you should fix your package, or file a bug.

It's not ok to change the manifest and reimport it in place. If you
want to change properties, you should go in with svccfg and change them
directly.

Sure, svccfg should show you.

Not svccfg.
