  ****************************************************************
  The problem occurs when a Liberty profile installation exists
  under the same product option as the full profile (traditional
  Application Server profile) that is uninstalled. The
  IBM Installation Manager uninstall logic removes the product
  option when no additional full profile installations exist
  for that option but fails to also ensure no Liberty profile
  installations exist for the product option before removing it.
  

Problem conclusion

• The IBM Installation Manager uninstall logic removes the
  product option when no additional full profile (traditional
  Application Server profile) installations exist for the
  product option and was corrected to also ensure no Liberty
  profile installations exist for the product option before
  removing it.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.5.1.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
