If you are sure that this file wasn't modified manually by you or some 
other (root) user, you can safely ignore the message and install the 
patches without --safe.

Sometimes a system file is modified by a patch or a software 
installation script without its checksum being updated in the global 
database (/var/sadm/install/contents); that can cause such "pkgchk" 
errors as seen above.
