Summary:                    /opt/csw/sbin/alternatives not installed in sparse
zone
Description: 
I have CSWsudo installed in globle zone. Hence alternatives too.
If I create a sparse zone alternatives is not installed correct into the
sparse zone. Hence no symlinks for sudo.

pkgchk CSWalternatives              
ERROR: /opt/csw/sbin/alternatives
    pathname does not exist

The script is missing.

PS: I did some more testing: i tried WITHOUT inherit-pkg-dir, and noticed
that the console of the zone was prompting me for some info.
I entered the info, let it reboot, etc, etc... and THEN
/opt/csw/sbin/alternatives
appeared as a proper file in the zone.

So you may have just been checking prematurely.
But even given that, you should change your configuration of /opt/csw in
the zone, to be inherit-pkg-dir, if you are going to be pkgadd'ing packages
from the global zone.
