No. I usually compile my own catalogue list by a small awk script from the
Solaris installation CDs. It's handy to do quick lookups of which packages you
need to if want to install something (or which package to delete if you want
to remove something).

The format is simple if you peruse through it

        /cdrom/Solaris_?/Product/*/pkgmap

This script makes 2 files: Info (compilation of package information) and Files
(files associated with each package. I used it for Solaris 9. Season to
taste:

        #!/bin/sh

        #
        # Grab description info for all packages from Solaris installation CD
        #
        GREP="/usr/local/bin/grep -E"
        AWK=/usr/local/bin/gawk
        EXPAND=/usr/local/bin/expand
        DIR=/cdrom/Solaris_9/Product

        if [ -d $DIR/SUNWcsr ]; then
                echo Found SUNWcsr. Doing disk \#1
                VERSION=1
        else
                echo Did not find SUNWcsr. Doing disk \#2
                VERSION=2
        fi

        rm -f Info Files

        for f in $DIR/*; do

                PKG=`basename $f`

                if [ -f $f/pkginfo ]; then
                        $GREP '^(NAME|DESC)=' $f/pkginfo | \
                                sed -e "s,^,$VERSION $PKG ," | \
                                expand --tabs=16 >> Info
                fi

                if [ -f $f/pkgmap ]; then
                        $AWK -v PKG="$PKG" -v VERSION="$VERSION" < $f/pkgmap '
                                $2=="f" {
                                        printf "%1s %-14s %s\n", VERSION, PKG, $4
                                }

                                $2=="l" {
                                        f = gensub(/=/," == ",1,$4)
                                        printf "%1s %-14s %s\n", VERSION, PKG, f
                                }

                                $2=="s" {
                                        f = gensub(/=/," -> ",1,$4)
                                        printf "%1s %-14s %s\n", VERSION, PKG, f
                                }' >> Files
                fi
        done
