[oi-dev] Silent upgrade failure when using ONU to upgrade OI from illumos-gate nightly build

[Prakash Surya]

I _think_ the issue is going to be related to how "pkg image-update" deals
with conflicts (i.e. siliently), coupled with the fact that the image I'm
upgrading is from the 2017.10 Hipster ISO and hasn't been updated to any
recent Hipster packages (i.e. no "pkg image-update" run).

As you might have seen in the openzfs PR I'm using to test, I've created a
new AMI that's a Hipster system updated last night. I have a feeling things
will work with the updated system, which would lead me to believe I
"simply" need to continually update (e.g. weekly) the base image that I use
to do the build and upgrade. i.e. this is an inherent issue with IPS
packages and how "pkg image-update" deals with conflicts, which is
disappointing, but not something I intend to solve (or expect to be solved).

With all that said, I left some output that I got from trying to "pkg
install osnet-incorporation at MY_VERSION" below, in case it's helpful.

​I'm updating the script I use to build, to do this. It still didn't solve
my issue, but this matches the "how to build illumos docs" so it should be
good to do none-the-less.

​Here's what I see when trying to install to a new BE I created to try and
debug this:​
