pkg unexpectedly dies.

[Aleksey Cheusov]

Hello. I'm trying to remove gnome packages recursively on OI_151. pkg
dies unexpectedly. See below. It recommends to register bug at
http://defect.opensolaris.org but I'm not sure illumos and openindiana
projects still use opensolaris.org site and its BTS.

Comments?

This error has been fixed in a newer version of pkg:

http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=13907

However, in your case, I don't believe you want to do what you're doing.

uninstall -r is unlikely to produce the result you really want (which is
one of the reasons why -r doesn't exist in newer versions of pkg(5)).

Try running the command again, but with -nv, and see what packages it
wants to remove. I'm betting that you'll see a package being removed
you didn't expect.
