Yes, the problem is that you can't change the authority you've installed 
from if you've setup zones:

http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=4771

You can see this by the fact that it's attempting to install build 106 
packages from the opensolaris.org authority.

The workaround for now will be to remove the dev.opensolaris.org 
authority and then change the origin_url of the opensolaris.org 
authority to point to http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev.  By the way, there 
is no such thing as dev.opensolaris.org.
