Both of these packages
  gzip-1.8-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
  gzip-1.8-2.aix6.1.ppc.rpm

Contain dangling symlinks to items in findutils (and are not contained in the gzip rpm)

This breaks the install if findutils is already installed.

  /usr/bin/locate -> /opt/freeware/bin/locate
  /usr/bin/updatedb -> /opt/freeware/bin/updatedb

$ rpm -Uvh gzip-1.8-2.aix6.1.ppc.rpm

Confirmed - this package installs cleanly with rpm and yum - thanks!
