Check for updates error

I'm getting an "Sequencer Failed" error message while trying to check for updates.

There are error messages on system console as well:

Any idea what could be wrong ?

The sequencer is having problems because an invalid expression for a patch in the patch database was detected. Unfortunately, the diagnostic information does not expose the ID of the patch that the sequencer is tripping on. Can you please increase the runtime log level so that more diagnostic information can be caputured in the log file? To set the runtime log level to debug mode, issue the following command .

# smpatch set -L patchpro.log.level=7

Next, repeat the scenario that led to the failure. After the task completes, please evaluate the log or the console where the stack trace is displayed to learn the ID of the last patch that was processed before the stack trace. Please let us know the ID of this patch so that we can evaluate the data associated with it. If a patch ID cannot be found, then development will look into the possibility of updating the sequencer to expose the patch that it had problems with.

Note: To reinstate the default log level, issue the following command.

# smpatch unset -L patchpro.log.level

Thanks for suggestions. The problematic patch is 117499-02 for VRTSat which has corrupted pkginfo in /var/sadm/pkgI will contact Veritas to fix it.
