[csw-users] Safe to let pkg-get -u Upgrade pkg-get?

[Douglas S. Davis]

So I'm trying to install ImageMagick on Solaris 10 using Blastwave.

I run pkg-get to install it, and it tells me I need to upgrade some 
png app or something.  I run the command it recommends, and in the 
process of upgrading various packages, it tells me that pkg-get 
itself needs to be upgraded. Is it safe to let it upgrade itself?  Or 
when I say "yes" that it's okay to uninstall it (prior to it 
installing the latest version), will it no longer be able to upgrade 
itself (as it's been removed)?

Hope that's clear.


For the record, I told it "no" and it continued with other upgrades, 
but if it's safe to do, I'll run it again.
