did you install BrightStor ARCserve Backup on this host? If yes, it
looks like it's install script tries to register the client as a package
in an incorrect way. At least that's what I remember.

well, I can't offer you a solution but to uninstall or ignore these
messages. Maybe it's save to remove the corresponding /var/db/pkg entry
but I'm not completely sure.

hope this helps somehow.

cheers,

tom.
