In the aftermath of my file system adventures when updating to 151a4, I
now have one mysterious "problem" left.
Well, it's not really a problem, just confusing and a little bit
mysterious to me, since I don't really know the IPS stuff that well.
Thing is I got to the point, doing lots of "pfexec pkg -R /otherBE fix
packagename", where my system reported no serious problems in pkg fix, and
the package manager had a clean and consistent, and probably complete
view to present.
Then suddenly a bunch of python-related packages were updatable, and I
let updatemanager do that.
It set up a new BE, and after booting over to that one, I ran Package
Manager. I clicked around a bit, and finally selected All publishers,
All packages and View Updates.
Then there was one update: perl-584.
Now this guy cannot be updated, it cannot be removed, and it is actually
EMPTY and just has a marker saying it has been renamed to perl-510.
It's no problem, really, but:
What determines if a package is reported as updatable??
pkg -u shows this same package as updatable, so it's not just the GUI
application that's wrong, here.
