It might be the gnu tar issue, though I thought that was just on the server install. Try installing or changing the path to tar to use the gnu version of tar.

Here's a technote:

Good Luck,

Getting nowhere with support... We have two older Solaris 10 clients.  They upgraded successfully to 7.5, but failed when going to 7.5.0.4 (this was via Live upgrade).  By hand, I'm consistently getting the following error, even after doing an uninstall and clean reinstall of 7.5 (with support doing this) - looks like a problem in the postinstall script.  Any ideas?
