Thanks to all who responded:
Danielle Georgette.
Dr. Thomas P. Blinn.
John Lanier.
The problem is solved. Dr.Blinn suggested I delete the directory tree
/usr/opt/java131. I vrestored back to the original operating system
( V5.1 ), did a rm -r /usr/opt/java131 and then the installupdate
went through without error.
Thanks again and have a nice morning, afternoon or night
depending on where you are.
