[OpenIndiana-discuss] Upgraded to OI148: now "entire" is not installed!

[Lou Picciano]

Hans, 


I can commiserate a bit; had exactly the same problem you're seeing, and wasn't really aware of the extent of it. Was wondering why certain binaries seemed to be wrong versions, and filesystem wasn't all it should have been... 




I did have the idea of beadm-creating a clone, mounted on /a 
then pkg -R /a install -f -v entire...., just to see, but if I know more 
when I try that, I'll get further. 


Geniuses here led me to essentially your own conclusion; I ultimately installed the entire@ consolidation on a new BE. All now working great!

I upgraded (using pkg image-update) to OI148 (Described in a previous 
email) from OSol b134. 

When I now check, the "entire" package is not installed? 

Is this OK, or should I 

A: Worry? 

B: Do something about it? If so, PLEASE tell me what! In some detail, 
please! 

Note, in spite of having been at Sun for well over 21 years, I was never 
involved in the recent development of things like Open Solaris in a 
technical way. 
My last years were spent managing unwilling hordes, and then managing a 
lab. I could get a new machine out of the box, into a rack and globally 
accessible in under 2 minutes, but that's the extent of the tech 
challenges of lab management. I'm comfortable with ZFS, too. ZFS hits a 
lab guy every day. But that's it. So please be patient with me and 
advise me.
