That's really weird, since like all SUNW* packages (except SUNWcs) in builds 133
and later, SUNWxwpnm doesn't install any files - it just has the metadata to
record that it is an obsolete name for a package and what packages to install to
replace it.   In snv_144 & later the replacement package is similarly obsolete
as the X package refactoring moved the man pages into the packages with the
software they document.
