Packages Renamed in OpenSolaris
by paulie
If you have been using the package management system in the newest builds of OpenSolaris (b133+), you may have noticed the naming scheme changes that affect new and existing packages. [Full list of changes]

For example, trying to find the usb header file package is a bit trickier. These files, namely usba.h, usbai.h, and usbdevs.h, are not installed into /usr/include/sys/usb in the default installation. To retrieve them, use this command: 

$ pfexec pkg install header-usb
In previous version, these files could have been obtained from either SUNWusbu or SUNWsfwhea. The removal of the SUNW prefix is the most apparent name change for the package collection. Now you can get busy building the latest apcupsd version!
