Hey Ken,
This sounds like something that could be turned into a concrete issue report in the Public Issue Tracker. This forum is for more general discussion of the platform and services, while the Public Issue Tracker is uniquely focused on taking issue reports and delving into them. When making the report, be sure to provide as much information about the system and the symptoms as possible. For this case, this might include the commands you ran, the full output, and any details about the system which might be helpful or relevant to the specific error seen. When you make the issue report, be sure to post it here so that other users can find it if they land on this thread via a google search, and also so that I can take a look at it myself!
Cheers,
Nick
