pkginfo file is corrupt or missing
Hi,
When I execute pkginfo, I get a listing which does not complete and
gives "pkginfo: ERROR: pkginfo file is corrupt or missing."
The problem seems to be with the /var/sadm/pkg/SUNWman, where there is
an empty file !I-Lock!
What is this file here for and is it safe to remove it?

SUNWman apparently failed to install properly. Check your installation
log. I just had the same thing happen with a liveupgrade from snv_98 to
snv_99 with SUNWaudd because of a conflict of audio drivers.
Removal of the file caused no problem with pkginfo.
Mount your installation media and try to re-install the package.
