Relaxing Dependency Constraints

Some of the incorporations listed above use facet.version-lock.* facets to enable the administrator to use the pkg change-facet command to relax the constraint to the incorporation for the specified packages. See Relaxing Constraints on Installable Package Versions for more information.

For example, the pkg:/consolidation/userland/userland-incorporation package contains the following facet.version-lock.* definitions:

..
depend type=incorporate \
    fmri=pkg:/library/python-2/subversion@1.6.16-0.175.0.0.0.2.537 \
    facet.version-lock.library/python-2/subversion=true
depend type=incorporate \
    fmri=pkg:/library/security/libassuan@2.0.1-0.175.0.0.0.2.537 \
    facet.version-lock.library/security/libassuan=true
depend type=incorporate \
    fmri=pkg:/library/security/openssl/openssl-fips-140@1.2-0.175.0.0.0.2.537 \
    facet.version-lock.library/security/openssl/openssl-fips-140=true
depend type=incorporate fmri=pkg:/mail/fetchmail@6.3.21-0.175.0.0.0.2.537 \
    facet.version-lock.mail/fetchmail=true
depend type=incorporate \
    fmri=pkg:/network/chat/ircii@0.2006.7.25-0.175.0.0.0.2.537 \
    facet.version-lock.network/chat/ircii=true
depend type=incorporate \
    fmri=pkg:/print/cups/filter/foomatic-db-engine@0.20080903-0.175.0.0.0.2.537 \
    facet.version-lock.print/cups/filter/foomatic-db-engine=true
depend type=incorporate \
    fmri=pkg:/print/filter/gutenprint@5.2.4-0.175.0.0.0.2.537 \
    facet.version-lock.print/filter/gutenprint=true
depend type=incorporate fmri=pkg:/runtime/erlang@12.2.5-0.175.0.0.0.2.537 \
facet.version-lock.runtime/erlang=true
    ..

The entire package also contains version-lock facets. In this case, the facets allow specified incorporations to be removed from the entire incorporation. However, this can result in a system that is not covered by support. Those packages should only be unlocked on advice from Oracle support personnel.
