[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Instantiating/Terminating instances using "runInstance()", resp. 
"terminateInstance()" function calls causes a 
"com.xerox.amazonws.ec2.EC2Exception": Problem parsing returned message

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Instantiating/Terminating the instances w/o any errors.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Typica latest svn checkout r323 on a Ubuntu 9.10 machine. Eucalyptus 1.6.2 
(w/ lucid RC, but also occured in 1.6.0 on karmik)

Please provide any additional information below.
Each time an image is deployed in the UEC I always get the following 
Exceptions:

I attached the error log of the Eucalyptus cloud controller.
The errors do not occur in the typica 1.6 release, but could not really 
figure out why these errors occur in the newer typica releases.

Yes, I'm facing this issue, too.
The problem is that typica passes "LaunchSpecification.SecurityGroup.1 = 
yourgroup"
for the securitygroup parameter when contacting EC2/Eucalyptus. According to the
specs this should be "SecurityGroup.1 = yourgroup".

I've attached a patch :)

I've filed Issue #94 because it's not just with eucalypus, but may be the same 
cause
