[OmniOS-discuss] pkglint: Python 2.7 MemoryError

[Andries Annema]

Hi guys,

I've got a freshly installed r151022 VM here (under VMWare Workstation) 
to fiddle around a bit. Very clean, no extra packages installed yet, not 
even NFS- or SMB-shares. Only two non-global zones: one to host a 
repository and one as build environment for some packages I use myself.
I have done all this on r151014 machines (VM/test as well as 
physical/production) as well, but have never bumped into the error I'm 
getting now.

Not sure if it is package-specific or more of a general error - I assume 
the latter - but for completeness sake, I'm trying to put Znapzend 
0.17.0 into a neat IPS packages.
.configure, gmake, gmake install, as well as creating the SMF method and 
manifest files, and the IPS package manifest go just like I got before 
on r151014, but now on r151022 the "pkglint" process fails.
This is what it throws at me:

Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong or is there a bug in Python 2.7 or 
even pkg(5)?
Assuming it simply had not enough memory to get the job done, I tried 
increasing the VM's assigned memory from 1 to 2, even to 4GB. But that 
didn't help.

This proves I'm still a novice on compiling and maintaining packages... 
*sigh*
Anyway, any hints appreciated! Tnx.

Andries
