Package Installation HELP!

To all,

I have just installed a newer software package on one of our Performance testing AIX machine A. I later found out that this package didn't need to be installed on this machine cause it was a client and not a server package. I want to back out with pkgrm but the old package doesn't exist on our repository machine anymore for some reason. We do have another machine B that is replicated with the same package i need located in /var/sadm/pkg/PACKAGEINEED. Is it safe to copy over the contents from Machine B over to A w/o causing any issues. My overall goal is to remove the new package and re-install the old one.

Many thanks,

AC
