[OpenIndiana-discuss] Installing one package triggered upgrade

[Gregory Youngblood]

My system is still reporting version 28. I am not going to reboot though I do need to reset beam so it won't reboot the upgraded environment if there is an extended power failure... Just in case the reboot causes the pool to upgrade to 5000.
