I had no responses on this one. So, I opened a service call with Sun
on the issue.
Turns out all of the "packages_to_be_added" are from the supplemental
"Language" CD. Since I had not used that CD on initial Solaris install,
the listing was erroneous. Sun has entered BugID #4903433 on this.
Removing the spurious packages_to_be_added file allowed 'luactivate'
to run successfully and allowed me to boot from the upgraded Boot
Environment
