Ah, it's because I did the test installation in a zone. The checkinstall
exits with success if the zone name is not 'global'.

Try this:

	build# pkgtrans VirtualBox-5.1.18-SunOS-amd64-r114002.pkg . all
	Transferring <SUNWvbox> package instance
	build# rm SUNWvbox/install/checkinstall
	build# sed -i /checkinstall/d SUNWvbox/pkgmap
	build# pkgadd -d . SUNWvbox
