Code:
pkginfo -l SUNWldap  [ or whatever package name you have]

will give you detailed information.

Updating is a different story. You have to have oracle support for your box to download current packages. You will also have to create an account on the oracle support system. If all of this sounds new to you, contact oracle support first before trying to do any updates.

pkgadd command can then install the update.
