    Try the -F flag to force install over it.

    Hi,

    From your installation media, pick installable (not update package, which ends to "U", like

    bos.rte.install.7.3.3.1.U)  7.2.x version of bos.rte package. 

    From that media, like Shawn said, force re-install

    installp -acFXYd ./ bos.rte.install

    Then update the package normally (via TL / SP update etc) to correct level with other operating system packages.

    Br,

    tommi

    >> Make sure U R tying to install base level fileset, not an update package..and use all these flags I mentioned on the previous message: installp -acFXYd ./ bos.rte.install

    Hi Vivek, 

    Looks like your update of the "bos.rte.install" broke for the root part.

    Also, it looks like you installed it using update media, since the usr part is in "APPLIED" state.

    So, now you can use the "installp -C" to cleanup the broken installation.

    Then, you can reject the updates using "installp -r <fileset>" command.

    After the fileset gets into a clean state, then you can proceed to update the fileset again.
