We verified that several patches for both 5.5 and 6.0 did not get updated to
the new Store-to-disk (STD) format as necessary. This results in the restore
error previously mentioned when you use the new UNPACKP script. I expect to
have this problem completely corrected by Friday morning (10/29).

Also, MPEKXP4A has already been fixed in this regard (I just verified it on
my machine), so you can download and unpack it any time now.
