The "force" option in pkg-get does not always force an install (or uninstall), instead, simply ploughs on without asking questions. If the default behaviour of pkgadd or whatever underneath is to bail at any point, pkg-get will also bail, it will not try and answer questions for you in the affirmative. I would expect pkgutil -y would do what you want, as this does try and ensure things get installed and will try and answer some questions, however, I've not tried in your circumstances. Use of pkg-get is now deprecated by Blastwave and unpopular (but still supported) with OpenCSW. You could argue none of this is a problem with puppet per se, however, I think puppet needs to move it's Solaris Blastwave provider backend to pkgutil.
