I installed this machine from the OpenSolaris 200805 CD i got from sun,
upgraded to snv_98, then a few days ago to snv_99 (the day after 99 came
out, so i could see if their were any major problems). For some reason
my machine seems to be unique in that since updating to snv_99 pkg it has
been throwing a very interesting error. at the recommendation of the
fine people in #OpenSolaris on freenode i am presenting this question to
you. the error is as follows:

This error results from almost all the command that can be passed to pkg
with the exception of "pkg info" with no arguments which results in this
error:

pkg: This is an internal error. Please let the developers know about
this
problem by filing a bug at http://defect.opensolaris.org and including
the
above traceback and this message. The version of pkg(5) is
'be1ad23e7704+'.

I'm not sure as these two errors are related, as my python-fu is not
strong. ;) but at the very least the second error provides some useful
information that the first does not, such as the pkg version.
If talking with me would be easier, i will be on freenode under the
registered nick of "Tilt". Thank you in advance for any help that may be
offered.
