Bug Description
i made a trivial edit to my environments.yaml file, and then discovered that juju could no longer read the file.
all juju commands now fail with an inscrutable error message
$ juju env --debug
2014-05-16 12:49:01 INFO juju.cmd supercommand.go:301 running juju-1.
2014-05-16 12:49:01 ERROR juju.cmd supercommand.go:304 couldn't read the environment
i've verified that the file is valid yaml with the expected structure.
after some debugging the underlying cause was 'default' environment no longer pointed to a valid environment name ( i had renamed it, it was not active) and this inspite of current-environment pointing to a different environment.
at min a nicer error message would be nice, at most ignoring resolution of default unless it was actually needed.
