If you install PP5, skip MPEJXV9B or else your POSIX directory purges will be
seriously broken.  I fell victim to MPEJXV9B long before PP5 was released.

I haven't installed any portion of PP5 yet, due to the presence of MPEJXV9B,
as well as Steve Dirickson's previously mentioned HPDATEDIFF problems.
