While doing a pkgadd manually does result in successful installation, fixing the spec file might be a better option. Failure to install due to attribute change indicates the default OS attributes are different from what is indicated in %files section of the spec file, it is quite likely that the entry inside spec file needs a fix. Fixing this should yield a spec file using which the package may be installed via pkgtool. -Shiv
