.pkg files are normally opened with the Installer.app which is located in Applications/Utilities. To reset Installer to be the default app for .pkg files, highlight a .pkg file from a Finder window and choose Get Info from the Finder menu. In the Get Info window go to the Open with pane and select Installer from the pull-down menu. If it isn't offered as one of the apps to Open .pkg files, select Other and browse to its location at Applications/Utilities to select it. After Installer is the chosen app press the Change All button to make Installer the permanent default app to open .pkg files.
