[csw-maintainers] Problem with pkgutil automatic installation

I recently made the conversion from pkg-get to pkgutil.  Now when I do
a full update (/opt/csw/bin/pkgutil -u), I am first prompted:

    ## packages to fetch. Do you want to continue? ([y],n,auto)

and then for each package I am repeatedly prompted:

    Do you want to remove this package? [y,n,?,q]

and if dependency checks fail, I get:

    Do you want to continue with the removal of this package [y,n,?,q]


Here is the content of /var/opt/csw/pkgutil/admin (mode 644):

    action=nocheck
    basedir=default
    conflict=nocheck
    idepend=nocheck
    instance=overwrite
    mail=
    partial=nocheck
    rdepend=nocheck
    runlevel=nocheck
    setuid=nocheck
    space=nocheck

This was probably migrated forward from pkg-get, or else it is the default
admin file installed by pkgutil, as I have not modified this file in years.

Any suggestion as to why I am not getting fully automated installs and
updates?

Thanks.
