So 7.5.0.5 will also fail.  The problem is inside the unbundle_pkg routine of 
the postinstall script.  In 7.5.0.4 (and later) they added a routine to detect 
the file size.

                                pkg_file_size_req="`gzip -cd ${gzip_file} | tar 
tvf - 2>&1 | head -1 | awk '{print $3}'`"

This expression returns different - without the awk argument it would print as:

tar: 36861 blocks + 5632 bytes (total of 377462272 bytes = 368615.50k).

Instead with GNU tar, it would print as:

-rw-r--r-- root/bin  377459712 2012-09-17 10:30 SYMCnbclt.pkg

Oddly enough, the problem does not exist on Solaris 10 x86 - only SPARC.
