Updating a host from AIX 7200-03-02 to 7200-05-02 (will subsequently patch to 7200-05-02). rpm.rte ends up broken. Any ideas? I've reproduced this twice. Can't forcibly overwrite it from media... There's no release notes on this, that I could see...
./rpm.rte.pre_rm[321]: 4^J4: syntax errorFailure occurred during pre_rm.Failure occurred during rminstal.Finished processing all filesets. (Total time: 1 secs).

# lppchk -v
lppchk: The following filesets need to be installed or corrected to bring
the system to a consistent state:
rpm.rte 4.13.0.4 (usr: COMMITTED, root: BROKEN)
Anyone got a handy way to get around this for future updates, or at least manually?
