Memory allocation failure for pkgadd in solaries.
On installing a package in one of the solaries VM, i am getting the below error,

Code:
pkgadd: ERROR: memory allocation failure, errno=0
Installation of <CSCObac> failed.

We also collect some stat in the troubleshooting process but could not figure out why.

Code:

Can you please explain your VM environment. What virtualisation platform is it?

You are trying to install a package on one guest operating system?
I assume this is not on the base (global) operating system?
