Closed ticket. As Alan mentioned, this is a packaging naming nomenclature brought over from legacy OpenSolaris development. OI package maintainers are either using what the upstream consolidator maintainer used for the build or adjusting their own packages to use version numbers (i.e. Userland/SFE). This is not a bug (it is by legacy design).

Bug #366: pkg is missing version numbers for most packages

When going through the list of packages available (pkg list -a) I noticed that the majority of them have the version tag set as 0.5.11. This isn't very useful as it makes it hard to tell what version the software in the package actually is.

Example:

<pre>
# pkg list -a | grep xaw
x11/library/toolkit/libxaw4                   0.5.11-0.148    installed  -----
x11/library/toolkit/libxaw5                   0.5.11-0.148    installed  -----
x11/library/toolkit/libxaw7                   1.0.7-0.148     installed  -----
</pre>

The first two clearly aren't correct, whilst the last one is.
