You will have to remove/reinstall the package

The case is which package'?
The real p[problem was that during a package add the machine booted, so now Im getting the following error:

check packages in the /var/sadm/pkg folder. just replace the pkginfo file in corrupt package with a good one from another server.
1. cd /var/sadm/pkg
2.
for i in *
do
echo "=========================
echo $i :
pkginfo -i $i
done
3. Look at the output and find the one that gives the missing or corrupt pkginfo error. You will want the directory the package is in /var/sadm/PKGNAME/pkginfo.
4. Now to fix it there is a couple possibilities:
- 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.
