Hi all,

if I recall properly, it is all about pkg.openindiana.org (e.g. server 
side).

It has to be "squashed" somehow (Alexander Pyhalov did it long time 
ago), I guess on preparing new release.

Best regards

P.S: On my OI, initially installed few years ago and constantly updated:

11G     /var/pkg/cache
