So, I did it (removed all directories under /var/pkg/cache and empty 
directory /var/pkg/publisher/userland) - so far no problems...

Actually, I saw this when tried to upgrade OS yesterday (was not able 
during whole day to do it):

:; pfexec pkg update -v --be-name oi_20231213

Errors were encountered while attempting to retrieve package or file 
data for the requested operation.
Details follow:

Framework error: code: E_SSL_CONNECT_ERROR (35) reason: OpenSSL

If you look at the numbers, you will see strange values (decreasing)...

I understand network - there can be a lot of problems preventing fast 
download, but *pkg* showing packages decreasing...

Started new one this morning (which looks better/faster) but somehow I 
have to download 2.3GB updates (0/48494 items     0.0/2312.9MB)?

My active BE is relatively new:

:; beadm list
BE          Active Mountpoint Space  Policy Created
oi_20231108 -      -          51,87M static 2023-11-08 08:38
oi_20231122 NR     /          72,12G static 2023-11-22 11:16


Also, is this OK (15GB of OI packages seems too much to me)?

:; pfexec du -sh /var/pkg/publisher/*
21M     /var/pkg/publisher/hipster-encumbered
15G     /var/pkg/publisher/openindiana.org

Regards.
