Broken IPS Client Driver

[danfoster]

The IPS Client driver does not work with newer versions of the pkg.client.image library that is provided with Solaris 11 and Openindiana. The following traceback is seen on the client:

Failed to instantiate tool Bcfg2.Client.Tools.IPS.IPS
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Bcfg2/Client/Frame.py", line 112, in __init__
    self.tools.append(tool(self.logger, setup, config))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Bcfg2/Client/Tools/IPS.py", line 22, in __init__
    self.image = image.Image()
TypeError: __init__() takes at least 2 arguments (1 given)

I'm guessing the client driver was last used against OpenSolaris 2009?

Version of pkg on Solaris 11:

Version of pkg on OpenIndiana:

I can't determine the version of pkg that was provided with OpenSolaris 2009 (i.e. the version that bcfg2 worked against) as there are no active mirrors anymore.
