userland-incorporation is there to fix the versions of all userland packages (similar package is osnet-incorporation for the base os). Such situations usually happen if your userland-incorporation is stuck at an old version. You'll need to find out what the latest version of it is an then manually try to intall that version pkg install [email protected] This won't work but will tell you what packages prohibit this step. To circumvent these kind of situations I typically do the following when I test new packages: I usually update to the latest: pkg update -v pfexec init 6 Then I create a "test" BE, activate it and boot into it: pfexec beadm create test pfexec beadm activate test pfexec init 6 After that I uninstall the packages "entire" and "userland-incorporation": pfexec pkg uninstall entire userland-incorporation This "frees" the BE from all userland version fixations. When done I simply activate the latest non-test BE, boot into it and remove all test-* BE's. Regards, Andreas

Switching BE's is quite easy and a major feature of OI: Simply enter pfexec beadm activate <BE name> activates the BE named <BE name> and makes it the BE when you reboot. It manages everything in / and /var. With pfexec create <BE name> you create a snapshot copy of your currently active BE and give it the name <BE name>. With pfexec destroy <BE-name> you can destroy the BE <BE name>. You can do that if you don't need it anymore and it's neither active nor booted. BE's are quite a nice thing as with them you don't need to worry about updates or changes you make on your system as long as you have another work BE. pkg update determines itself whether it needs to create a new BE. But this can also steered with appropriate options (look at man pkg). But always remember that it only manages / and /var. That is, not your user data. To protect your user data you should either make manual snapshots or automatic snapshots by means of timeslider. And, of course, backups :) Andreas
