Error description

• Upgrading from IBM HTTP Server 6.1.0.27 to 6.1.0.27 should
  upgrade GSKit to 7.0.4.28. The upgrade log shows the upgrade was
  successful (INSTCONFSUCCESS). However, GSKit is still showing
  7.0.4.14. Checked updateGSKit.log, it indicates GSKit is already
  installed.
  
  The problem was discovered in 64-bit AIX 6.1. It may exist in
  other AIX versions and/or hardware platforms. But this defect
  should not affect other OS platforms.
  

Local fix

• Workaround 1: Remove .toc file in <IHS_DIR>/GSKitImage directory
  before upgrading IBM HTTP Server. Then the update of GSKit to
  7.0.4.28 should work.
  
  Workaround 2: Install GSKIt 7.0.4.28 manually.
