I have given this try for standard x86 DC AI build with latest DC bits
(based on slim_source tip646). When non-existing package 'SUNWbge_foo'
was added to the list of packages, DC failed with following messages
on console:
# /usr/bin/distro_const build ai_x86_7057_128_Erik.xml
/usr/share/distro_const/DC-manifest.defval.xml validates
/tmp/ai_x86_7057_128_Erik_temp_21533.xml validates

I agree that 'pkg cmd:' message is really long, but since this is exactly
what DC does, why not have it captured in detailed log file for debugging
purposes ?
Since I don't see the traceback and failure message was not masked
in detailed log file, do you think it might be possible to provide me
with your testing DC bits, so that I could take a look why you see the
Traceback and that failure message is being hidden ?
Thank you,
Jan
