I am having trouble installing Networker 4.0.2 on Solaris 2.3.
Basically, the new Networker server does not have a tape drive
of the required type (Exabyte) and so I have dd'd the relevant
section from the install tape....

	mt fsf /dev/xxxxxx
	dd if=/dev/xxxxx of=.....

on another machine and copied it to the new server. Next I tried
to install the software:

	pkgadd -d /tmp/xxxxx

which seemed to work OK until it got to the postinstall script at
which point I got the following messages:

>## Installation of part 1 of 1 is complete.
>## Executing postinstall script.
>                NetWorker(TM) - Release 4.0

????????????--------------------^^^^^^^^^^


A friend suggested that there was a patch required before I can
install the software.

Can anyone suggest a fix? The name (or number) of the patch?
Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance
