In regard to: [OpenIndiana-discuss] pkg install woes, John Gardner via...:
A brand new install from the hipster-20210403 dvd and I can't install packages
at the moment:
root@buildpc:/export/home/johng# pkg install build-essential
tl;dr:
Always, always do
pkg update
or
pkg update -v 2>&1 | tee pkg-update-v.out
before doing an install.
OI hipster is designed so that packages "go together", meaning that all
the packages from a particular point in time should work together.
What you're trying to do is install the latest versions of some packages
on top of an OS image that is from 7 months ago. That's being blocked
by the osnet-incorporation.
If you want to install current packages, you need to be relatively up
to date, which means first doing a
pkg update
