Error description
An etherchannel without backup adapter with all primary adapters in link down state will log ECH_MAIN_CHAN_FAIL. When at least one primary adapter gets the link up, the etherchannel will be active and running, but there is no errpt message. That means that looking only into the errpt will lead to the wrong conclusion that the etherchannel is still down.

That means that looking only into the errpt will lead to the wrong conclusion that the etherchannel is still down.
