Description
I ran into a couple issues with the cpqary3 and smrt drivers when running pkg update on a new install of helios-engvm.
pkg://helios-dev/driver/storage/cpqary3@0.5.11,5.11-2.0.23833:20260318T211716Z delivers multiple copies of driver cpqary3
This package must be corrected before it can be installed.
pkg://helios-dev/driver/storage/smrt@0.5.11,5.11-2.0.23833:20260318T211717Z delivers multiple copies of driver smrt
This package must be corrected before it can be installed.
The problem mirrors: https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/omnios-discuss/Te1ef9c3f5aea0dd0
with possible solution akin to OmniOS scheme of stepping through upgrades: https://omnios.org/upgrade
or a more permanent version of pkg uninstall entire.

Research direction
Start by reproducing pkg update on a new helios-engvm install and inspect how the cpqary3 and smrt packages deliver duplicate drivers. Compare the proposed OmniOS upgrade-stepping approach and the linked falcon-image-netstack pull request; done means the affected packages can be upgraded without the multiple-copy failure.
