    hi gurus,

    So let's pretend we have a package installed but nobody has the original media
    or copy of the package file. Is there any way to remove an installed package
    from Solaris 9 but, instead of it just disappearing, end up with the original
    package file I could use to re-install if necessary?

    Yes, the logic behind doing this is rather flimsy. Everyone should have a copy
    of all original installation media and all packages/patches ever applied since
    the first install. But it's not entirely unreasonable to shift pkgadd into
    reverse and end up with the original pkg file. Is it?

    TIA,
    -John
