Unlocking the sunpro-incorporation Package

This task is needed in order to update to the required version of system libraries on Oracle Solaris 11.2 from the Oracle Solaris 11 release repository without updating the entire operating system to the latest Oracle Solaris 11.2 SRU.

This unlocking procedure is shown in the session in Example 2: Updating the sunpro-incorporation Package from the Oracle Solaris 11 Release Repository.

1. Become root on the system to be updated.

2. Verify the version of the sunpro-incorporation package to make sure it needs updating. Type the following command:

   # pkg list sunpro-incorporation
   NAME (PUBLISHER)                                  VERSION                    IFO
   consolidation/sunpro/sunpro-incorporation         0.5.11-0.175.2.0.0.37.0    i--
   

   The version 0.5.11-0.175.2.0.0.37.0 indicates the package needs to be updated.

3. Type the following command to unlock the sunpro-incorporation package:

   # pkg change-facet facet.version-lock.consolidation/sunpro/sunpro-incorporation=false
   

   Now you can update the sunpro-incorporation package as described in Updating the sunpro-incorporation Package in a New Boot Environment .
