I'm having a problem installing SUNWmdr and SUNWmdu during a custom
jumpstart with Solaris 9 8/03.

I do

package SUNWmdr add
package SUNWmdu add

in the profile, and I get:

Solaris 9 software installation partially failed

Solaris 9 packages partially installed
                SUNWmdr
                SUNWmdu

                
Checking /var/sadm/system/logs/install_log I find:

pkgadd: ERROR: exec of /sbin/sh failed, errno=13
pkgadd: ERROR: checkinstall script did not complete successfully

Installation of <SUNWmdr> failed (internal error).
No changes were made to the system.
pkgadd: ERROR: exec of /sbin/sh failed, errno=13
pkgadd: ERROR: checkinstall script did not complete successfully

Installation of <SUNWmdu> failed (internal error).

Sunsolve has a couple bug reports that have no solutions or workarounds
that appear similar - 4816293 and 4689829.

The permissions on the install server directory are good all the way down
to the package.

Has anyone seen this problem and know what the cause might be?

Thanks in advance.
