For this you can use full package name with version (and timestamp) included, also this one reason to have “meta” packages such as “entire”. Except that unfortunately openindiana repository seems to have stopped updating “entire”…  So, other option is to try to some core package, such as SUNWcs.

For really early openindiana updates we did need to switch to middle version(s) first, but I’m not sure that option is still available (repo size was being a problem at some point, for same reason Oracle did drop old Solaris 11 versions;)
