Explanation

By default, the pkg info command only lists information about installed packages on the system; however, we can use a similar command to look up information about uninstalled packages, as Listing Information About an Uninstalled Package # pkg info -r php-52 Name: web/php-52 Summary: PHP Server 5.2 Description: PHP Server 5.2 Category: Development/PHP State: Not Installed Publisher: solaris Build Release: 5.11 Branch: 0.175.0.0.0.1.530 Packaging Date: Wed Oct 12 14:01:41 2011 FMRI: pkg://solaris/web/[email protected], 5.11-0.175.0.0.0.1.530:20111012T140141Z Note: pkg info command displays information about packages in a human-readable form. Multiple FMRI patterns may be specified; with no patterns, display information on all installed packages in With -l, use the data available from locally installed packages. This is the default. With -r, retrieve the data from the repositories of the image's configured publishers. Note that you must specify one or more package patterns in this case.
