You can get around this by doing a `touch /usr/adm/subsets/ULTDL030.lk' to
create the lock file that claims the software set is loaded.  I had the problem
back aways when trying to load DECnet on a 3.1c machine and DECnet went bananas
claiming it couldn't be loaded because it couldn't find Ultrix 3.0 loaded on
the machine -- they have a generic V3.0 DECnet that doesn't realize that Ultrix
3.1 is a kosher substitute for 3.0.

You can always fake it and see if it blows up (:-).  Somebody who knows what
they're talking about should probably answer this.
