And if I have 2008.05 based on snv_86 then isn't SUNWipkg at 0.5.11-0.86 the version delivered with that from the beginning? Or are you reusing the version numbers after an upgrade?

I just uttered the magic phrases :

-bash-3.2# pkg version
d974bb176266
-bash-3.2# pkg install -v SUNWipkg at 0.5.11-0.91:20080620T101740Z
Before evaluation:
UNEVALUATED:
+pkg:/SUNWipkg at 0.5.11,5.11-0.91:20080620T101740Z

After evaluation:
pkg:/SUNWipkg at 0.5.11,5.11-0.86:20080426T174940Z ->
pkg:/SUNWipkg at 0.5.11,5.11-0.91:20080620T101740Z
None

-bash-3.2# pkg version

so that seems to have worked out ... flawlessly too.
