[geeks] Solaris 11 package conflicts

[Phil Stracchino]

Solaris 11.3 installs Perl 5.12
(pkg://solaris/runtime/perl-512@5.12.5,5.11-0.175.3.0.0.30.0).  I'd like
to update this to Perl 5.22, but when I try, I get the following:

asgard:root:~:5 # pkg install
pkg://solaris/runtime/perl-522@5.22.1,5.12-5.12.0.0.0.122.0:20170510T193143Z
Creating Plan (Checking for conflicting actions): \
pkg install: The requested change to the system attempts to install
multiple actions
for link 'usr/perl5/man' with conflicting attributes:

    1 package delivers 'link mediator=perl mediator-priority=vendor
mediator-version=5.22 path=usr/perl5/man target=5.22/man':

pkg://solaris/runtime/perl-522@5.22.1,5.12-5.12.0.0.0.122.0:20170510T193143Z
    1 package delivers 'link path=usr/perl5/man target=5.12/man':

pkg://solaris/runtime/perl-512@5.12.5,5.11-0.175.3.0.0.30.0:20150821T171525Z

These packages may not be installed together.  Any non-conflicting set may
be, or the packages must be corrected before they can be installed.

The requested change to the system attempts to install multiple actions
for link 'usr/perl5/bin' with conflicting attributes:

    1 package delivers 'link mediator=perl mediator-priority=vendor

pkg://solaris/runtime/perl-522@5.22.1,5.12-5.12.0.0.0.122.0:20170510T193143Z

pkg://solaris/runtime/perl-512@5.12.5,5.11-0.175.3.0.0.30.0:20150821T171525Z

These packages may not be installed together.  Any non-conflicting set may
be, or the packages must be corrected before they can be installed.

The requested change to the system attempts to install multiple actions
for link 'usr/perl5/pod' with conflicting attributes:

    1 package delivers 'link mediator=perl mediator-priority=vendor
mediator-version=5.22 path=usr/perl5/pod target=5.22/lib/pod':

pkg://solaris/runtime/perl-522@5.22.1,5.12-5.12.0.0.0.122.0:20170510T193143Z
    1 package delivers 'link path=usr/perl5/pod target=5.12/lib/pod':

pkg://solaris/runtime/perl-512@5.12.5,5.11-0.175.3.0.0.30.0:20150821T171525Z

These packages may not be installed together.  Any non-conflicting set may
be, or the packages must be corrected before they can be installed.



I've dug through document after document and I'm baffled as to how I
resolve this.  Does anyone know a way to force the update?
