Holai Koji,

this is most likely not a problem with the package itself but a problem
with the package database in your system. Please verify that you can
install a known-to-be-good packages like something from the Solaris
distribution. I support it will also fail. You can then try to pinpoint the
failing issue with truss on pkgadd and see where it fails.
