Thank you Stephane. Yes, as you said it seems like a specific series of installer actions was causing this behavior. However, when I moved the installer calls that were failing to the top in the series of calls (earlier, they were the last calls in the series), it is installing fine now. (Though I could not understand what difference that would have made since all sub-packages are independent).
Anyway, thanks for looking into my log file :)
Thanks,
Vikram

yes, it can lead to signing conflict issues. But at the same time,
having the packages signed and the distribution not, is not useful
from a signing point of view.
I've seen the error log you provided in the past and performing the
install later again did not bring back the issue. It could possibly be
a bug in the Installation framework/tools which is triggered more
easily when you run a series of installer actions.
