pkgadd: ERROR: checkinstall script did not complete successfully

i recently received the above error when running the "installpatch"
script for SunOS 5.5.1.  when the script calls pkgadd it appears that
if the 'path to install' is too long that pkgadd acts up.

a simple solution is to put the patch in a short dir, ie /tmp.
for those that have it in the default dir, it could cause trouble
in the longrun.  i dont believe this bug has been reported yet.
