"pkg update" kept telling me that there were no later packages for me in the repository. This seemed strange because after some googling I knew my packages weren't the latest.
Eventually I figured out the problem.
The default repository anybody who installs Solaris has access to. However, my machine came pre-installed and they had used the support repository. So my "pkg update" needed the support suppository to update. Follow this link to change to the support repository: https://pkg-register.oracle.com/help/ (Valid Oracle Support contract needed)
