Fix Fileset Issue When Moving VIOS ioslevel to 4.1.1.20

Hi,

We recently upgraded the ioslevel from 4.1.1.0 to 4.1.1.20. The update completed successfully with no errors reported, and the ioslevel reflects the expected version.

During post-update checks, however, we observed an inconsistency in the oslevel. This prompted me to raise a low-priority case for further investigation. The conclusion is that this discrepancy can be safely ignored, as the affected fileset does not contribute to the core functionality of the VIOS. Additionally, other customers have reported similar behaviour, which has led to this RFE being raised.

Fileset details:

Fileset                                 Actual Level       Service Pack Level
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
X11.apps.xdm                            7.3.3.0            7.3.3.1

Thanks,

Christopher Lang
