[OpenIndiana-discuss] SunRay on hipster; was Surprising bug (???) migrating a root pool

[Till Wegmüller]

Hi Martin

gcc-47 is in state Obsolete. It basicly does not exist anymore.

In pkg info -r you can see:
 > State: Not installed (Obsolete)

The Obsolete State was introduced to cleanly remove all files related to 
that package from the system.

In order to do this, package metadata is conserved but the files on the 
server are not.

If you have more questions about IPS just ask.

Greetings
Till
