Resolution

Earlier a copy of this same .L7P file was already uploaded. Doesnt seem like either we had permissions to it or it was corrupt.

We went to the /opt/SecureSpan/Controller/var/patches directory and we manually deleted

<PATCHNAME>.l7p

<PATCHNAME>.status

<PATCHNAME>.*.LCK

We then did a fresh upload of the L7P file and there were no errors. And we were able to upload/install without error.
