If none of these versions is what you want, then you need to set your solaris publisher origin to a different package repository location.

By default, each package is updated from the publisher that provided the currently installed version. You can control the publisher that provides packages by specifying publisher stickiness and search order. See Adding, Modifying, or Removing Package Publishers.
