As David just announced the availability of build 93, I tried to do an
image-update (using the instructions of course).  Since the last time I
did this, however, I added an authority and three package from that
authority.  This authority happens to be not reachable from my network
at the moment (which happens a lot since it's only reachable when I'm
connected to a VPN).  This results in image-update to refuse to update
any packages at all.

Specifically:

seb:~$ pfexec pkg authority
AUTHORITY                           URL
sunfreeware                         http://pkg.sunfreeware.com:9000/
righthook.east.sun.com              http://righthook.east.sun.com:10000/
opensolaris.org (preferred)         http://pkg.opensolaris.org:80/

When I try image update, I get:

seb:~$ pfexec pkg -R /mnt image-update
pkg: 2/3 catalogs successfully updated:      
    righthook.east.sun.com: node name or service name not known

I don't think that this behavior is quite right.  Should there be a way
to say "image update everything from authority A, and ignore the others
for now"?  Or perhaps, "update everything that you can, but don't abort
if some authorities are unreachable".  Would such proposed behavior be
fundamentally acceptable?
