[OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenOffice on Hipster

[Reginald Beardsley via openindiana-discuss]

Can anyone explain what's going on here:

# pkg search openoffice
INDEX ACTION VALUE PACKAGE
pkg.fmri set openindiana.org/desktop/office/openoffice pkg:/desktop/office/***@4.1.2-2016.0.1.0
# pkg install openoffice
No updates necessary for this image.
# pkg info openoffice
pkg: info: no packages matching the following patterns you specified are
installed on the system. Try querying remotely instead:

openoffice


pkg goes through the usual gyrations of making a plan, etc and then says no updates are needed. Running "find / -name '*office*' " does not find an executable.

If you look at the package metadata for hipster, it contains the following:

set name=pkg.fmri
value=pkg://openindiana.org/desktop/office/***@4.1.2,5.11-2016.0.1.0:20180705T215200Z
set name=pkg.obsolete value=true
set name=org.opensolaris.consolidation value=userland

That's it. It's an empty, obsolete package.

If you're after LibreOffice, then a look at

may be of assistance.

Per pkg(1) 'info' command works only for installed packages. If the
package is missing (which is what `pkg` is saying here), one has to add
'-r' option:

{global} ***@lenovo:~ $ pkg info -r openoffice
Name: desktop/office/openoffice
State: Not installed (Obsolete)
Publisher: openindiana.org
Version: 4.1.2
Branch: 2016.0.1.0
Packaging Date: July 5, 2018 at 09:52:00 PM
Size: 0.00 B
FMRI:
pkg://openindiana.org/desktop/office/***@4.1.2-2016.0.1.0:20180705T215200Z

Also, note the 'State' field.
