[OpenIndiana-discuss] image-update fails with error about live image

[weknox]

  I have seen this posted before but without a resolution.

I'm trying to do an image-update from oi-148 to 151a.  Here's the 
terminal output:

 >>weknox at antonio-gramsci:~# pkg image-update -f
 >>DOWNLOAD                                  PKGS       FILES    XFER (MB)
 >>Completed                                41/41   1759/1759    96.2/96.2

 >>pkg: image-update cannot be done on live image

This is not a zone.  And it is not a live image, it certifiably 
originated from a 134b boot environment.

Thanks in advance for any help.
