[OpenIndiana-discuss] can't install a new zone

[maurilio.longo at libero.it]

Hi,

I've just updated an Openindiana 2021.10 system with a
   # pkg refresh --full
   # pkg update

$ uname -a
SunOS st-ar-01 5.11 illumos-041297c2d6 i86pc i386 i86pc illumos

because, after a few years from the last time I did install one, I could not install a new zone due to missing dependencies, but the problem stays the same.

$ pfexec zoneadm -z ztc install
A ZFS file system has been created for this zone.
Sanity Check: Looking for 'entire' incorporation.

Publisher: Using openindiana.org (http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster/).

...

an so on and so forth for tens of different packages ?!?

The zone config is as bare I can get it

$ zonecfg -z ztc info
zonename: ztc
zonepath: /nas/zones/ztc
brand: ipkg
autoboot: false
bootargs:
pool:
limitpriv:
scheduling-class:
ip-type: exclusive
hostid:
fs-allowed:
net:
address not specified
allowed-address not specified
physical: vnztc0
defrouter not specified

Is it still possibile to run zones on current Openindiana or am I doing something wrong?

Regards.

Maurilio
