You're most likely using the testing repo which is the default and it
doesn't have packages for Solaris 8 any more. Change to the dublin
repo and you will find packages there.

In /etc/opt/csw/pkgutil.conf, look for the "mirror"-line and change
the last part that probably says "testing" to "dublin".
