Synopsis

Manages CSW packages (SVR4 format) on Solaris 10 and 11.
These were the native packages on Solaris <= 10 and are available as a legacy feature in Solaris 11.
Pkgutil is an advanced packaging system, which resolves dependency on installation. It is designed for CSW packages.

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
name - / required		Package name, e.g. (`CSWnrpe`)
site -		Specifies the repository path to install the package from. Its global definition is done in `/etc/opt/csw/pkgutil.conf`.
state - / required	Choices: present absent latest	Whether to install (`present`), or remove (`absent`) a package. The upgrade (`latest`) operation will update/install the package to the latest version available. Note: The module has a limitation that (`latest`) only works for one package, not lists of them.
update_catalog boolean	Choices: no ← yes	If you want to refresh your catalog from the mirror, set this to (`yes`).
