[OpenIndiana-discuss] gdb debugger

[Reginald Beardsley]

 How much do the additional resources cost?  I'm in for $100/month.  I can up that.  It's my sole charity.
I just finished an update.  Time to reboot.
Have Fun!Reg

This happens because you haven't updated your OI installation for a 
while. The latest userland-incorporation is 0.5.11-2025.0.0.31780. You 
have to run "pfexec pkg update -v" in order to update your system. This 
will create a new boot environment and you need to reboot into that.

Background: userland-incorporation is a meta package that creates a 
baseline of all oi-userland packages that work together (or rather 
should work together). It is incremented with every successfully 
published PR.

In a perfect world you would be able to install an appropriate version 
of gdb (the one that was recent when your version of 
userland-incorporation has been created). But as we have limited 
resources we need to "clean up" the repository.
When this happens only the latest FMRI's of all available packages will 
be kept. This is necessary because when the amount of package revisions 
will grow, pkg operations will need more memory and time to finish. When 
a certain limit is reached pkg operations can get really slow and blow 
low memory installations.
