Russel,

this is what we do in our tests for OI releases before 20170503: 
https://github.com/OpenIndiana/os-autoinst-distri-openindiana/blob/master/tests/update/pkg_update_to_latest_packages.pm#L46.

Here 
https://openqa.oi.mnowak.cz/tests/4172#step/pkg_update_to_latest_packages/9 
you can see how it plays out in the MATE environment.
