Stale lock installed for pkgadd

While installing some SDS packages earlier today, we lost power. The
install is partially finished, but I'm stuck in a bit of a loop. I try
to reinstall over the old package, and I get:

WARNING: Stale lock installed for pkgadd, pkg SUNWmdx quit in initial state.
    Removing lock.

pkgadd quits after this message. Ok, I say, I'll pkgrm the b0rked
package! Oh, that it were so easy... :

pkgrm SUNWmdx

The following package is currently installed:
   SUNWmdx Segmentation Fault (core dumped)

Nice, huh? I have this problem with several of the packages. SUNWmdu,
SUNWmdx and SUNWmdr.

Anyone been stuck here before? Not finding anything helpful yet on the net.

Thanks!
