Updating a Constraint Package When an Installed Dependency is Not Permissible

Error messages:

  • The installed package package is not permissible

  • Excluded by proposed incorporation

If you receive these error messages, package probably is a core operating system package that must be kept in sync with other core operating system packages. Use the pkg facet command to check the value of the facet.version-lock.package facet. If the value of this version-lock facet is false, use the pkg change-facet command to change the value of this facet to true, and then try the update operation again.
