Attempting to update an 11.0 server with many non-global zones installed. pkg publisher is pkg.oracle.com/solaris/support.
FMRI = pkg://solaris/entire@0.5.11,5.11-0.175.1.15.0.4.0:20131230T203500Z
When we run pkg update --accept the server contacts oracle, checks packages, finds about 700 updates, but when it gets to the stage where it's linking with the NGZs, it fails with this;

We have tried with both the release and support repos and still get this error. My thinking currently is to add pkg:/group/system/solaris-small-server to the global zone. Will this help with the errors? or is this not advised on a global zone? We have a dozen or so other Solaris servers and none of the global zones seem to have this.
Thanks for any input.
