I'm not sure that this is the best approach to solving this problem.
The pkg history mechanism saves tracebacks, as well as information about
the operation that was in-progress when the failure occurred. It might
make more sense to enhance history to do the following:
- Create a history record identifier for each history entry
- Have the traceback handler figure out the history-id for the current
transaction
- Print a message that instructs the user to type the following pkg
history command to get more details about the failure
- Print the traceback to the screen if the user doesn't have
permission to modify the pkg history file.
Shawn may have additional thoughts about this, too.
