    "zoneadm list -cv" shows all of the zones as lipkg, right?

    I'm including OpenIndiana's Alexander Pyhalov.  ISTR this bug:

    	https://illumos.org/issues/6675

    had a side-bug related to old ipkg zones that got updated to lipkg.  You mentioned that more recently built boxes don't have your problem.  I'm trying to remember if there's an additional piece of the change-ipkg-to-lipkg puzzle missing?

    I want to say I forgot to document something on the process of changing ipkg to lipkg beyond what's documented here:

    But I can't find it in my mail archives easily.
