It's the same here..
On both Solaris 8 and Solaris 9, if SFHA 4.1 or VCS 4.1 is installed and includes 117499-02, then patch manager stops working.. This seems to corrupt pkg information as 'showrev -p|grep 117499' shows some garbage.
Backing out patch 117499-02 fixes the problem.
Thanks for this report, it allowed me to fix my problem.
For the record, I installed VCS 4.1 from CD's, not from contract software downloads.
Best regards,
Vincent

Veritas said it will be fixed in v4.1 MP1
They initially advised the work around is to remove the garbage in the file rather than removing the patch.
/var/sadm/pkg/VRTSat/pkginfo
ACTIVE_OBSOLETES=
PATCH_INFO_117499-02=
apparently the now they have another patch.
RESOLUTION:
This issue is described and resolved as part of Incident e412536. It is generally recommended to remove the corrupted patch, and replace it with the patch available at:
ftp://ftp.veritas.com/pub/support/e412536.4.1.117499-02.SxRT.tar.gz
Instructions for removing the patch and re-installing the "replacement patch"
1. Confirm that patch has the issue of corrupted entry.
# showrev -p | grep 117499
Patch: 117499-02 Obsoletes: ?\?-?螪?(x??P?d?赩 Requires: Incompatibles: Packages: VRTSat
2. Remove the patch with patchrm
# patchrm 117499-02
Checking installed patches...
Backing out patch 117499-02...
Patch 117499-02 has been backed out.
3. Prepare and install the patch
# cd /tmp
# gzcat e412536.4.1.117499-02.SxRT.tar.gz | tar -xf -
# patchadd 117499-02
Checking installed patches...
Verifying sufficient filesystem capacity (dry run method)...
Installing patch packages...
Patch number 117499-02 has been successfully installed.
See /var/sadm/patch/117499-02/log for details
Patch packages installed:
VRTSat
4. Confirm that the corrupted pkginfo has been fixed.
# showrev -p | grep 117499
Patch: 117499-02 Obsoletes: Requires: Incompatibles: Packages: VRTSat
NOTE: If the files under /var/sadm/pkg/VRTSat/save have been manually edited, the command "patchrm 117499-02" will fail to backout the patch.
