[OmniOS-discuss] strange local repository corruption

[Doug Hughes]

this is a relatively fresh install and not much going on on the machine, 
and I see somehow that the pkg repo got corrupted relatively recently on r14

t at x4275-3-15-20:/usr/local/orca-r535# pkg refresh

An error was encountered while attempting to read image state information
to perform the requested operation.  Details follow:

Catalog file '/var/pkg/state/installed/catalog.attrs' is invalid.
Use 'pkgrepo rebuild' to create a new package catalog.
