[OpenIndiana-discuss] pkg upgrade fails on java6 vs. openjdk7

Tue Jun 16 11:08:16 UTC 2015

 Hello again,

 Thanks for pushing me in the right direction :)

 Initially I looked at installing the packages by base FMRI which yielded "no updates needed". Then I realized that the reported Java package names are at 0.151.8 level, which is not quite good nowadays. Tried "pkg unfreeze" just in case, but it did not help.

 When I tried to install packages by explicitly the full FMRI with the timestamp, pkg reported that they are blocked by "ub_javavm-incorporation":

root at jimoi:~# pkg -R /a update pkg://openindiana.org/developer/java/jdk pkg://openindiana.org/runtime/java
 No updates available for this image.

root at jimoi:~# pkg -R /a install pkg://openindiana.org/developer/java/jdk pkg://openindiana.org/runtime/java
 No updates necessary for this image.

root at jimoi:~# pkg -R /a install pkg://openindiana.org/runtime/java@0.5.11-2015.0.1.0:20150529T114409Z
 Creating Plan (Solver setup): |
 pkg install: No matching version of runtime/java can be installed:
   Reject:  pkg://openindiana.org/runtime/java@0.5.11,5.11-2015.0.1.0:20150529T114409Z
   Reason:  This version is excluded by installed incorporation pkg://openindiana.org/consolidation/ub_javavm/ub_javavm-incorporation@0.5.11,5.11-0.151.1.8:20130305T143751Z

 ... which is apparently obsolete by itself:

root at jimoi:~# pkg -R /a update pkg://openindiana.org/consolidation/ub_javavm/ub_javavm-incorporation
 No updates available for this image.

root at jimoi:~# pkg -R /a info -r pkg://openindiana.org/consolidation/ub_javavm/ub_javavm-incorporation
           Name: consolidation/ub_javavm/ub_javavm-incorporation
        Summary:
          State: Not installed (Obsolete)
      Publisher: openindiana.org
        Version: 0.5.11
         Branch: 2015.0.0.0
 Packaging Date: June 12, 2015 07:34:48 PM
           Size: 0.00 B
           FMRI: pkg://openindiana.org/consolidation/ub_javavm/ub_javavm-incorporation@0.5.11-2015.0.0.0:20150612T193448Z

 ... and yet can not be updated because of dependency from another repo:

root at jimoi:~# pkg -R /a update pkg://openindiana.org/consolidation/ub_javavm/ub_javavm-incorporation@0.5.11-2015.0.0.0:20150612T193448Z
 Creating Plan (Solver setup): -
 pkg update: The installed package SUNWj6dev is not permissible.
   Reject:  pkg://opensolaris.org/SUNWj6dev@0.5.11,5.11-0.133:20100216T080447Z
   Reason:  All acceptable versions of 'require' dependency on pkg:/consolidation/ub_javavm/ub_javavm-incorporation are obsolete

 ... which I seemingly can't easily remove:

root at jimoi:~# pkg -R /a uninstall SUNWj6dev
 Creating Plan (Solver setup): /pkg uninstall: Cannot remove 'pkg://opensolaris.org/SUNWj6dev@0.5.11,5.11-0.133:20100216T080447Z' due to the following packages that depend on it:
   pkg://opensolaris.org/eclipse@3.4,5.11-0.86:20081204T035444Z

 ... or on another thought, why would I want packaged Eclipse from 2008 (when I use tarballed up-to-date Netbeans when I need an IDE bigger than VI or MC, anyway)? - well, they can both be removed after all:

root at jimoi:~# pkg -R /a uninstall SUNWj6dev eclipse
 Packages to remove: 5

 PHASE                                          ITEMS
 Removing old actions                       2418/2418
 Updating package state database                 Done
 Updating package cache                           5/5
 Updating image state                            Done
 Creating fast lookup database                   Done

 Now the "pkg -R /a update" is busy downloading the packages which it hopefully will manage to install... (internet is so slow here, I won't see the result very soon)

 The general packaging question is: if I wanted to retain that version of eclipse and that version of Java-1.6 (for example), would it be possible to enforce updates somehow? Presumably, I could pkgrecv the packages from "opensolaris.org" repo replica and edit the IPS manifest. If the replica is still online... and what if it's not (or I am not online)? Can something be done locally within the OS? Some evil manual edition of the local copy of pkg(5) metadata in /var/pkg?

 Thanks,

 Jim Klimov
