5.5 PP 5 was the Powerpatch that was placed on production hold.
If you want to stay on 5.5, either

   o  Install Powerpatch 6, or
   o  Install the reactive patch MPEKXJ3 after you've installed PP5.

Preliminary returns on 6.0 have been very good.  As many here have
mentioned, if you've got the time, 6.0 may be the better answer.  At
least that's my personal opinion.
