im using Solaris 9 and i installed Solstice DiskSuite latest version. I need to remove these packages.
bash-2.05# pkginfo | grep lv
system SUNWlvma Solaris Volume Management APIs
system SUNWlvma.2 Solaris Volume Management API's
system SUNWlvmg Solaris Volume Management Application
system SUNWlvmg.2 Solaris Volume Management Application
system SUNWlvmr Solaris Volume Management (root)
system SUNWlvmr.2 Solaris Volume Management (root)


But when i try to remove it with pkgrm i get this

Try changing the order in which you remove the packages... i.e. remove SUNWlvmg first. Annihilannic.
