pkgadd: ERROR: no packages were found in </var/spool/pkg>

Solaris 5.10 ....Apache web server was removed and I'm attempting to install Apache packages from the Solaris 10 disc. I copied the SUNWAPCHR, SUNWAPCHU, and SUNWAPCHD directories from the dvd - SOLARIS_10/PRODUCTS to /var/sadm/pkg and also to var/spool/pkg. The system is not recognizing the directories as packages, as I get the following error:

pkgadd: ERROR: no packages were found in </var/spool/pkg>

What am I missing?
