VRTSvxvm pkgadd problem

Hi,

I'm trying to re-install vxvm as part of an upgrade on a
V880 and getting the following:

Installing VxVM for Solaris 8

  The following Sun patch(s) are required for Solaris 8.
  Sun patch(s):

        111413

Continue installation? [y,n,q,?] (default: n): y

Using </> as the package base directory.
## Processing package information.
## Processing system information.
   16 package pathnames are already properly installed.
## Verifying package dependencies.
## Checking for conflicts with packages already installed.

The following files are already installed on the system
and are being
used by another package:
  /usr/lib/vxvm <attribute change only>

* - conflict with a file which does not belong to any
package.

Installation of <VRTSvxvm> was suspended
(administration).
No changes were made to the system.

I've not been able to find out what the problem is. I
know it's not space. AFAICT I have all the pre-req's. I'm
wondering if it's due to the presence of a supplementary
kernel patch which means the system shows

SunOS crasher 5.8 Generic_114018-01 sun4u sparc
SUNW,Sun-Fire-880

This is on top of 108528-18. We have 111413-10 in
place.

Any ideas anyone? Archive searches have produced
rsults on similar errors but nothing which quite matches.

TIA
