Problem Upgrading 4.0B --> 4.0E

From: Robert Bastell <trodat_at_JASPER.RDC.AB.CA>

Machine: 1000a
Script: /sbin/installupdate

After going through most of the script, the installation
attempts to begin installing BASEOSF431. (The first subset
installed in the installation process.) It then hoops
with a fatal error describing wrong permissions with the
BASEOSF431.scp file.

The permissions are:

-rwxr--r-- 1 root system 3913 Jun 5 17:18 OSFBASE435.scp

The permissions shown in the error are not at all close, they list at:

"-rw-rw-rw-"

I'm assuming that this doesn't refer to the actual file OSFBASE435.scp
but one in the OSFBASE435.inv file. Am I wrong?

I tried to re-install 4.0B using the installupdate and it died with
the same error.

- There are no conflicting installed subsets.
- There is enough drive space.
- The system was in single user mode at time of script execution.

Anyone have this problem before? Any suggestions as to what to do?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciatied!
