I ran into a supposed "missing package" issue when performing an AI-based install recently. On the install client I grep'd for "rror" and "ailed" in the alternate root area of /a/var/pkg/history/ to determine which package installation encountered an error. Not pretty, but it helped me make some progress in debugging my particular issue. Chris
