The first thing to check would whether the output of "pkginfo -x" looks
reasonable, ie. shows at least a few hundred installed packages. If
pkginfo output is incorrect, take a look at /var/sadm/pkg/. You should
have a lot of directories with files named "pkginfo" in them.
Also take a look at /var/tmp/patchdiag, and check if it has a reasonable
size and format (or use a copy from another machine, where pca output is
fine).
If all of the above is fine, please send me (not to the list) output
from these commands:
uname -a > uname.out
showrev -p > showrev.out
pkginfo -x > pkginfo.out
for further diagnosis.
