It isn't bos.rte that is hosed.
The problem is that you have another fileset installed
which has an explicity pre-req for "bos.rte v<5". Note
the "v<5" which means it wants to see bos.rte at a level
less than version 5. This may be some package which is
only supposed to run on AIX v4. I think the command:
lslpp -p all
will show you which fileset is looking for bos.rte <5.
