remove partially installed packages

I have a package that won't completely uninstall. This is bottom half of the output of 'pkgrm packagename'

Do you want to continue with the removal of this package [y,n,?,q] y

Removal of <ddstrader.2> partially failed.

pkginfo shows that its partially installed:

<root@serverA:(/)>$ pkginfo -l ddstrader.2
   PKGINST:  ddstrader.2
....<snip>....
    STATUS:  partially installed

pkgchk shows that no files exist for that package:

<root@gfiap20:(/)>$ pkgchk ddstrader.2
WARNING: Package <ddstrader.2> is installed but empty

Any ideas how to remove this from the system?
