[HPADM] swmodify error

Hi all,
I was trying to recover some disk space removing the rollback files of all the already committed patches. This on a D320 with HP-UX 11.0, with the quality patch bundle of March 2003 installed.
The swmodify command gives an error, with no removal of any file:

# swmodify -x patch_commit=true '*.*'
ERROR:   Could not select the software "*.*".  This software is in a
         corrupt state and is not available for selection.  Corrupt
         software can be removed with the swremove command, or replaced
         with the swcopy command.

How to recover from this "corrupt state" ? I don't know how to identify the software in this state.

Thank you for your help
