    Hi, Judith

    please try the following (to get the info which pkginfo-file is corrupt) in
    ksh or sh (login as root):

    cd /var/sadm/pkg
    for i in *
    do
    echo "============================================"
    echo $i :
    pkginfo -i $i
    done

    Examine the output for the wrong or missing pkginfo-file (located in the
    directory /var/sadm/PKGNAME/pkginfo).

    Then you have different ways to solve the problem.

    - you can copy a working version of pkginfo-file from another machine to
    your machine

    - you can try to edit the wrong file

    - you can try to install a newer patch to get a working pkginfo-file.

    Regards

    I just tried to see what was installed on a solaris 8 system with "pkginfo
    -i" and got the msg: "pkginfo: ERROR: pkginfo file is corrupt of missing".
    Does anyone know of a fix for this?

    Thanks!
