In the following example, the “r” in the O column indicates that the package has been renamed, and the “o” in the O column indicates that the package is obsolete.
$ pkg list -n developer/dtrace/toolkit database/mysql-50 web/amp NAME (PUBLISHER) VERSION IFO database/mysql-50 5.0.91-0.171 --o developer/dtrace/toolkit 0.99-0.173.0.0.0.1.0 --r web/amp 0.5.11-0.174.0.0.0.0.0 --r
None of these packages is installable. If you try to install an obsolete package, the installation fails with the message that no updates are necessary for this image. If you try to install a renamed package, the system attempts to install the package to which the renamed package has been renamed.
Use the pkg info command to determine the new name of a renamed package. Use the -r option to query the configured package repositories because the package is not installed. See the “Renamed to” line, as shown in the following example:
$ pkg info -r web/amp
Name: web/amp
Summary:
State: Not installed (Renamed)
Renamed to: group/feature/[email protected]
consolidation/ips/ips-incorporation
Publisher: solaris
Version: 0.5.11
Build Release: 5.11
Branch: 0.174.0.0.0.0.0

FMRI: pkg://solaris/web/[email protected],5.11-0.174.0.0.0.0.0:20110921T191502Z
If you try to install the web/amp package, the group/feature/amp package will be installed instead if it is not already installed and if it can be installed in this image.
In the following example, the “Renamed to” package is already installed, so the packaging system reports that no updates are necessary.
$ pkg info -r developer/dtrace/toolkit
Name: developer/dtrace/toolkit
Summary:
State: Not installed (Renamed)
Renamed to: pkg:/system/dtrace/[email protected],5.11-0.173.0.0.0.0.0
