This is mystifying.  I keep looking but I don't see anything about the
return from the pre-install script.  Nor do I see anything comming
from a post-install script, finally it never seems to transition from
pre-install to the FSM (file state machine), and there are no error
messages.

OK here are some standard questions:

  - What version of rpm did you build it with?
  - What version of RedHat where you on when you build it?
  - What version of rpm is on your solaris box?

Jeff do you have any ideas?
