Hi Ed,

this '=20' stuff was surely created by some mail converter.

With pkginfo -l you can list all installed Software Packages on your 
Solaris.

Start with trying to delete SUNWlp. The Package Management will tell you 
that there are other packages depending SUNWlp. Try to delete first 
until you have deleted all packages depending on SUNWlp.

If you want to know to which package a binary belongs, just grep it:

Example:
grep /usr/bin/lp /var/sadm/install/contents

/var/sadm/install/contents contains all Paths managed by the Solaris 
SysV Package Management.
