Conflict checking issues for package

Question

Trying to install SMCsubv144 on a server in the global zone. I get the following:
root@xxxxxxx(pts/3):/tmp# pkgadd -d ./subversion-1.4.4-sol10-sparc-local
The following packages are available:
1 SMCsubv144 subversion
(sparc) 1.4.4
Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process
all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]:
## Verifying package <SMCsubv144> dependencies in zone <xxxxxx1>
## Verifying package <SMCsubv144> dependencies in zone <xxxxxx2>
## Verifying package <SMCsubv144> dependencies in zone <xxxxxx3>
## Verifying package <SMCsubv144> dependencies in zone <xxxxxx4>
## Verifying package <SMCsubv144> dependencies in zone <xxxxxx5>

Conflict checking issues for package <SMCsubv144> on zones <xxxxxx1, xxxxxx2, xxxxxx3, xxxxxx4, xxxxxx5, xxxxxx6>.
Do you want to continue with the installation of <SMCsubv144> [y,n,?] n
Installation of <SMCsubv144> was terminated due to user request.
When I choose y to continue, I get into a loop of the following questions:
Do you want to continue with the installation of <SMCsubv144> [y,n,?] y
attribute change for /usr/local/bin <package> on SMCsubv144 <zone>
Do you want to continue with the installation of <SMCsubv144> [y,n,?] y
attribute change for /usr/local/doc <package> on SMCsubv144 <zone>
Do you want to continue with the installation of <SMCsubv144> [y,n,?] y
attribute change for /usr/local/include <package> on SMCsubv144
<zone>
Do you want to continue with the installation of <SMCsubv144> [y,n,?] y
attribute change for /usr/local/lib <package> on SMCsubv144 <zone>
Do you want to continue with the installation of <SMCsubv144> [y,n,?] y
attribute change for /usr/local/man <package> on SMCsubv144 <zone>
Do you want to continue with the installation of <SMCsubv144> [y,n,?] y
attribute change for /usr/local/man/man1 <package> on SMCsubv144
<zone>
Do you want to continue with the installation of <SMCsubv144> [y,n,?] y
attribute change for /usr/local/man/man5 <package> on SMCsubv144
<zone>
Do you want to continue with the installation of <SMCsubv144> [y,n,?] y
attribute change for /usr/local/man/man8 <package> on SMCsubv144
<zone>
and that goes on and on until I answer n. And never specifies which zone it's talking about...just <zone>.
I've successfully installed the same pkg on a non-zoned server. Also tried SMCsubv143 and got the same error. So the pkg is ok, it appears a problem with the zones and/or /usr/local.
Thanks for any info.

You could also try using an admin file that should answer those questions for you
I usually use something like:
mail=
instance=unique
partial=ask
runlevel=ask
idepend=nocheck
rdepend=ask
space=ask
setuid=nocheck
conflict=nocheck
action=nocheck
basedir=default
