Hi Jim,

I also had similar issue: from 2 zones, I was able to (detach/pkg
update/reboot/attach -u) ONLY /hipster based zone

Another one (based on /dev repository) failed to be handled properly and
now is dead (that was probably my mistake during attempts to recover
from situation - unfortunatelly I made no notes).

Just FYI.

In my opinion this error should not happen (maybe some change from
Oracle lander untested?).

Best regards.
