If it's Solaris Express build 58 thru 60 or so, there was a known issue[1] with pkgadd of datasteam packages. The workaround was to use pkgtrans to convert them to "file system" format first. Generally, pkgadd should be able to process both formats of package, and you wouldn't have to use pkgtrans... ~Iain [1] http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6525537
