Hi,

I have OpenSolaris 2008.05 on a VMWare virtual machine.

While trying to install a package, pkg error-ed out thus:

# pkg install SUNWgcc
DOWNLOAD                                    PKGS       FILES     XFER (MB)
SUNWgcc                                      0/2       0/341
0.00/70.61pkg: An unexpected error happened during installation:

The Boot Environment opensolaris failed to be updated. A snapshot was
taken before the failed attempt and is mounted here /tmp/tmpZU6L3j. Use
'beadm activate opensolaris_static:-:2008-05-07-14:41:01 and reboot if
you wish to boot to this BE.

    if '@' in host:
TypeError: iterable argument required


Is there a plan to make the error message plain english? Is there a bug
logged for this or should I?

Cheers
Manoj
