Local fix
Have to remove/uninstall IHS. Download the IHS 1.3.12.5 build
separtely. Then go thru SMIT to install IHS and choose to over
write. This will update the GSKIT properly.

*                      AIX the new version of GSKIT would not  *

****************************************************************
When installing ptf 5 for WAS 3.5 on AIX the IHS update would
fail because the ptf install would detect that gskit was
already installed and therefore would not install the new
version of gskit that is bundled with ptf5.
Problem conclusion
The fix will uninstall the current version of gskit and then
install the new version that comes with ptf 5.
