We're not reusing the version numbers per-se but rather we're changing
the timestamp which is the lowest part of the version number. This
allows us to publish a version of a package for an earlier build. In
the case of SUNWipkg, this is relatively simple to do.
With respect to determining which version of SUNWipkg you have, usually
I would suggest running "pkg list SUNWipkg" and see whether the command
reports that an update is available - look for a 'u' character under
the UFIX field. Unfortunately, this command will report an update is
available even if the only update is one with a higher build number.
However, you can always just rerun
$ pfexec pkg install SUNWipkg@<version>
where <version> is the version printed by "pkg list SUNWipkg" and if
there is a newer timestamped version, it will update to that.
