Question

Hello,
on a NG-zone I try to install package system/header:
# pkg install system/header
Creating Plan (Running solver): -

The zone has been upgraded from Solaris 11/11 recently:

Installation of system/headers has been successfully on another zone on the same physical host as well as on the host itself.
Also I noticed on the zones and on the host:

But I do not know if these errors are related to the error mentioned above.
Thanks for any hint!

OK i've made some progress here - on another thread someone suggested using pkg refresh --full which i did and it's got rid of the 404 errors, however i stall can't install the package :-
