[OpenIndiana-discuss] Gnuplot on 2024.10?

[Reginald Beardsley]

 The jaded old man in me says that "pkg update -v" won't fix the gnuplot problem. It's running, but I'm doubtful of success.

Just in case no one noticed, the gnuplot pkg wants "wxwidgets-3" and such pkg doesn't exist according to "pkg search wxwidgets".

Over 30 years ago I remarked it was easier to get one program to work on 6 different operating systems than it was to get 6 programs working on 1 system. I was referring to >$100k/seat 3rd party packages in the oil industry.

Now things are even worse.

No, this won't fix his problem.
Instead he needs to update his system (pfexec pkg update -v). This will 
create a new boot environment that needs to be activated (eg. by a 
reboot). After that gnuplot should be installable.

He is using an outdated version (the current userland-incorporation is 
userland-incorporation at 0.5.11-2025.0.0.29749:20250628T120816Z and this 
will advance with every successful jenkins run).
The repository needs to be cleaned from time to time by removing all but 
the latest package revisions.
When this is done older userland-incorporations will refer to package 
versions that aren't available anymore.
The best help is to update the system.

DON'T REMOVE userland-incorporation IF YOU DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT 
CONSEQUENCES THAT WILL HAVE!
