[OpenIndiana-discuss] pkg: internal error

Wed May 9 08:14:47 UTC 2012

OK, I said I wasn't going to dig into the source, but since I found
such an easy and specific fix, I had a go with it... and it WORKS! yay
:)

Here's the diff:

diff engine.py.org engine.py

<                 hdl.setopt(pycurl.URL, treq.url)
---
>                 hdl.setopt(pycurl.URL, str(treq.url))

As noted, this may be an ugly work-around and perhaps not suitable for
a long term solution, but for me as end-user... whatever makes it work
is worth it.
