Solaris 11.2 Desktop install (slim_install)

864164Mar 30 2015 — edited Mar 30 2015

I'm trying to install the Solaris 11.2 gnome desktop. I started by doing a Solaris 11.2 text install on my VirtualBox VM, and then created a Local Repository.

root@solaris11-2:~# pkg list entire

NAME (PUBLISHER)                                  VERSION                    IFO

entire                                            0.5.11-0.175.2.8.0.4.0     i--

root@solaris11-2:~# pkg publisher

PUBLISHER                   TYPE     STATUS P LOCATION

solaris                     origin   online F file:///export/IPSrepo/

When I try to install the required packages to the system, the slim_install package I get the following error. Never had a issue with this before when installing a previous release of Solaris 11.2

root@solaris11-2:~# pkg install slim_install

pkg install: The following pattern(s) did not match any allowable packages.  Try

using a different matching pattern, or refreshing publisher information:

        slim_install

root@solaris11-2:~# pkg search slim_install

INDEX       ACTION VALUE                       PACKAGE

incorporate depend slim_install@0.1,5.11-0.166 pkg:/consolidation/solaris_re/solaris_re-incorporation@0.5.11-0.175.2.4.0.4.0

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong.
