[OpenIndiana-discuss] Gnuplot on 2024.10?

 Why did "pkg search wxwidgets" not match any FMRI containing "wxwidgets-3"? Is that not the correct syntax? Rebooting has erased the screens, but "pkg search wxwidgets" did not return wxwidgets-3 as it does post "pkg update -v".

In essence, the IPS system seems to retain the dependency problem, but merely adds a layer of complexity. Sad, but it's a really hard problem. I busted a pick or two on it myself.
