Cannot remove SUNWaudiohd - slim_install depends on it????

I am trying to remove the SUNWaudiohd package from OpenSolaris 2008.11 build 101b RC2 but I get an error message when I try to uninstall it saying:

Cannot remove 'pkg:/SUNWaudiohd@0.5.11,5.11-0.101:20081119T234700Z' due to
the following packages that depend on it:
pkg:/slim_install@0.1,5.11-0.101:20081119T235636Z

Is this a bug? How do I override this and remove the package anyway - there doesn't seem to be a 'force' option I can use with pkg.

Thanks

Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

You can safely remove slim_install from installed system:

$ pfexec pkg uninstall slim_install

Thank you,

OK, so slim_install is the installer that installed OpenSolaris from the Live CD, but this should be getting removed from the installed system - is that right?

Andrew.

slim_install cluster is used when LiveCD is being created by Distribution
constructor (DC) - it pulls LiveCD bits into DC 'proto' area. slim_install
should be removed before LiveCD ISO image is finally created as it is
not needed on LiveCD itself - installation is done by copying the content
of LiveCD to the target.

Thank you,
Jan
