Hi guys,
I noticed that there's been an update published to openindiana.org
(oi_151a5) - great stuff, but the new version of pkg(1) in it broke zone
creation from oi_151a4 hosts. In short, here's the problem:
* Global zone: oi_151a4
* zoneadm -z newzone install <-- this fetches and installs pkg(1)
from openindiana.org for oi_151a5
* zlogin newzone
* (in-newzone)# pkg publisher
pkg: No image found.
The IPS database format has probably changed in such a way that the new
pkg(1) doesn't recognize the old database. I've tested this numerous
times with the following pkg(1) versions and I can consistently
reproduce this:
(global-zone)# pkg version
5d2771134f21+
(non-global-zone)# pkg version
4d886e93dafc
A way to work around this is to re-generate the package database in the
non-global zone as follows:
# pkg image-create -f --zone --full -p http://pkg.openindiana.org/dev/ /
# pkg install entire # to ensure everything's properly installed
When installing the non-global zone from an oi_151a5 global zone, this
doesn't occur (just tested on a second machine - yep, if global is
oi_151a5, all is good, otherwise, the non-global zone's pkg is broken).
Sure I'm not the only one who's seeing this, right?
Cheers,

Saso
