The suggestions were to look for the lock in
/var/sadm/install
/var/sadm/pkg
and clear it
or run pkgadd under truss, for example with
truss -f -t open -t stat pkgadd xxx
in place of
pkgadd xxx
The last opened or stated file could be the lock.
I have not been able to test them yet, however Im sure the truss procedure
will show the cause -- as it always does --.
I should have thought that before!
