pkgadd missing on Solaris 11

Hi,

This is not a question thread, but rather a solution to an issue I have encountered on Solaris 11.

It turns out that pkgadd is not available by default on Solaris 11. The solution is to install it with:

Code:
pkg install SUNWpkgcmds

I hope this will save people some time.

Cheers,

JVerstry
