Just as a reference to others/for the future;
I had a problem where I was tryign to update CSWglib2.
it got stuck, becaus of zone problems.
i ended up downloading the newer version, and installing manually.
but.... pkg-get kept saying I still needed to "upgrade" it!
?!!...
after use of truss, I discovered an interesting "feature" of pkginfo. (ugh)
there was a leftover magical directory,
/var/sadm/pkg/.save.CSWglib2
It kept looking in THERE, instead of the proper
/var/sadm/pkg/CSWglib2
for the installed file information.
once i trashed that directory, things finally proceeded properly.
