Hi Javier!

Ah, that is good.

Yes, this message is annoying.  I tried to explain what I think why
this message appears.  However, the repository is good despite the
message.  Just ignore it.

Maybe your pkgrecv simply does not have the -p option.  Your version of
pkg(5) might be too old.  This is the version I have in my 151014 system:

# pkg info pkg
          Name: package/pkg
       Summary: Image Packaging System
   Description: The Image Packaging System (IPS), or pkg(5), is the software
                delivery system used on Oracle Solaris.  This package contains
                the core command-line components and pkg.depotd server.
      Category: System/Packaging

       Version: 0.5.11
        Branch: 0.151014

What does "pkg info pkg" show on your box?
