zoneadm update on attach error(?)

BRushDec 14 2017 — edited Dec 19 2017

I have a problem I have never seen or heard of before. I have a Solaris 10u11 failover zone (controlled via cluster) that I'm trying to patch via an attach on update. When I run "zoneadm -z <zonename> attach -u", I get the following error. (Names removed to keep the question generic)

zoneadm -z '<zonename>': ERROR: attempt to downgrade package <package_name> 1.8.8 to version 1.8.18p1

What doesn't make sense to me is that it's not a downgrade, but an upgrade. I did check another failover zone, and it has the binaries for the 1.8.18p1 version, but it's pgkinfo shows 1.8.8. The global zone's pkginfo shows 1.8.18p1.

I'm tempted to use the -F option to force the update.

Any thoughts? Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks!~!
