After updating to snv90 I cannot install sunstudioexpress or ss-dev on my system. I always get the following message:

raise NameError, "could not retrieve manifest '%s' from '%s'" % \
NameError: could not retrieve manifest 'SUNWj6dmo@0.5.11%2C5.11-0.90' from 'http://pkg.opensolaris.org:80'

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Björn

Try:

pkg refresh --full

If you have not already done so.

I made it work by specifying all the dependencies on the command line.

pfexec pkg install SUNWj6dmo SUNWhea SUNWj6dmx SUNWarc SUNWj6dvx SUNWj6man SUNWj6cfg sunstudioexpress

That is truly gross; and defeats much of the reasoning behind IPS. I
hope that someone analyzes this and solves the underlying problem.

I believe ss-dev is the intended package to be used. I never have
figured out why we have both.

That was my understanding too, but the OP appears to have had the same
fail trting to install ss-dev too...

At the time I observed this, I was also having trouble with getting a
reliable connection to pkg.opensolaris.org. Since I didn't know if it
was a problem with IPS or with the connection, I didn't file a bug
report. I'll do so now that it seems others are experiencing this as
well.

If you want additional developer tools, you can install the ss-dev
package instead of the sunstudioexpress package. The ss-dev includes
Sun Studio Express software plus Subversion, CCS tools, GNU libtool
utility and wrappers, Mercurial, GNU automake, gmake, CVS, Bison,
Flex, math libraries, and various Solaris programmer tools.

Before filing a bug, please reinstall "sunstudioexpress" but set the
PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT environment variable to something like 90 or 120.
That workaround (or perhaps even a larger value) is necessary,
particularly if you're going to be downloading many MBs of data.

I retried it now in a VirtualBox and it seems to work as expected
(though now I'm using ipkg.sfbay instead of pkg.opensolaris.org).

Although specifying the dependencies on the command line may not have
been what solved my problems, it did change how the problem was
reported. When the command line only said install sunstudioexpress, I
always got the same message as the original poster about not being able
to retrieve the manifests for the dependencies, and the install didn't
get past the "Creating Plan" phase. When I specified the dependencies, I
always got past "Creating Plan", but experienced timeouts a number of
times when downloading the packages before I managed to get them
installed. I found it a bit strange that the manifests were needed in
one of the cases, but not in the other.

I'm not sure but I think the original poster was having a timeout issue
and that's why they were unable to install the "sunstduioexpress"
package.

It's unclear as to why the second poster needed to specify those
dependencies explicitly. They should be pulled in and install
automatically given the dependencies that "sunstduioexpress" declares:

$ pkg contents -o action.raw -r -t depend sunstudioexpress

As many others have been experiencing, you may be seeing a timeout
issue. Try setting the environment variable PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT to a
value such as 90 or 120 and then restart the packaging operation.

Krister is working on addressing the timeout issue and to provide a
local cache of downloaded packages to install which should alleviate
many of the issues being seen.

Setting the timeout didn't help either. I tried everything mentioned in this thread, still no sunstudioexpress or ss-dev.

For what it's worth, I too have been seeing this problem. I did a clean install of 2008.05 yesterday, and then updated to snv_90. I have done a full pkg refresh and have verified that timeout is not an issue. I am using pkg.opensolaris.org. I was able to do an openoffice install, so not all package installs are causing problems.

Specifying all the dependent packages explicitly did indeed solve the problem. If you're missing one of the packages it will be called out in the traceback message. On my first try I forgot SUNWj6dev, but after adding it, the install is now proceeding. Maybe this is some issue with the package server when the new builds pushed?

I confirm this issue. Installing dependencies seems to be broken. If I try to install one dependency by hand, the next time installing ss-dev complains about another dependency and so on.

I've had problems installing things like ss-dev on 2008-05 (snv86). The timeouts are one issue I've run into. The other are hangs with the packagemanager gui itself. Seems that at times it'll get hung when it's trying to download and never recovers. I've had to kill it off a few times. The strange thing is that I had problems yesterday morning and then in the afternoon, everything worked fine. I did notice that if the pkgs were small and not large like the ss-dev cluster, no issues at all. So I'm not sure if this is a bandwidth issue on the pkg repo server itself or and issue with IPS reading larger amounts of data. In either case, the tools should not hang (I wouldn't mind a message like "Connection to *blah* lost! Reconnecting...").

BTW, it would be nice if all the packages had descriptions! I also think the core Solaris (non-gnome) components should be in the "core" category and not dumped into the "ALL" category. I also saw a lot of stuff that needs to be cleaned up in / and /usr. I'll post bugs against these items today.
