Solaris 11 package update

[cah]

I was trying to compile DBD:MySQL perl module but experienced some issues.
I found out gcc is 32-bit binary and I want to compile some 64-bit apps. It shouldn't matter since I successfully compiled DBI perl module earlier.

While I was trying to update gcc, it didn't work because it was part of "consolidation/userland/userland-incorporation":

Code: Select all

orautil02:/%pkg install pkg://solaris/developer/gcc-45@4.5.2,5.11-0.175.1.0.0.24.0:20120904T171315Z

When I was trying to update "consolidation/userland/userland-incorporation", it complained again:

Code: Select all

orautil02:/%pkg update pkg://solaris/consolidation/userland/userland-incorporation@0.5.11,5.11-0.175.1.0.0.24.0:20120904T170613Z

So, I tried again to update the "entire" package:

Code: Select all

orautil02:/%pkg update entire

A clone of solaris exists and has been updated and activated.
On the next boot the Boot Environment solaris-1 will be
mounted on '/'.  Reboot when ready to switch to this updated BE.

I guess a reboot is needed for the new BE to be activated and all packages should be updated. At least 266 of them.

Boot environments list:

Code: Select all

orautil02:/%beadm list

After rebooting the server, the new BE (solairs-1) was picked up and packages were updated.

Code: Select all

%beadm list
BE        Active Mountpoint Space  Policy Created          
--        ------ ---------- -----  ------ -------

solaris-1 NR     /          8.99G  static 2014-02-04 17:27 

However, gcc package didn't seem to be updated:

Code: Select all

%pkg list | grep gcc
system/library/gcc-3-runtime                      3.4.3-0.175.0.0.0.2.537    i--
system/library/gcc-45-runtime                     4.5.2-0.175.0.0.0.2.537    i--

I think it is because I removed it before I updated entire package and that's why it didn't get pulled in.
I then tried to install it again.

Code: Select all

%pkg install pkg://solaris/developer/gcc-45@4.5.2,5.11-0.175.1.0.0.24.0:20120904T171315Z
Creating Plan -

Perhaps I was trying to install the old package.
So I tried the other way:

Code: Select all

%pkg install developer/gcc-45   
            Packages to remove:  1
           Packages to install:  1
       Create boot environment: No

This time, it installed and it shows up in pkg list:

Code: Select all
