What did you have to do to fix the broken pieces?
I'm halfway through the update, right about now.

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.
