[OpenIndiana-discuss] Upgrade from b134: few packages get updated

[Alex Viskovatoff]

I believe the Thunderbird/Firefox problem IS a server issue. I am also
experiencing it on my second OpenSolaris system, which correctly tries
to update all relevant packages.

I can't go back to snv_132, since I discarded that BE. But I'm guessing
that why going back to snv_132 worked for you is that in snv_133, you
installed the package or packages that are causing the problem.

Since at least four people are experiencing this problem -- you, me, and
two other people posting comments on the Installing or Upgrading wiki
page -- this should probably be reported as a bug.
