playing with ipstool with a 2nd repo, entered wrong data for location, 
then the good location, then get 1 package, then deleted the 2nd repo, 
then entered it again...

Well, not the usual stuff, but what a stupid user would do trying to 
setup some repositories.

yep, I tried that but:
ludoch at pigalle:/# pkg uninstall SUNWapch22m-php5
pkg: 'SUNWapch22m-php5' matches no installed packages

So Let say I delete (accidentally) a file I got from an IPS package. How 
can I get it back via a pkg command.

What if you remove the metada directory of one of the rep (in my case 
/.org.opensolaris.org) and try to create the image again?

I am still not clear at all between multiple repos where you get stuff 
and switch to another repository.
