This is not sufficient. You have to consult the inventory 
ODM class to find all the symbolic links and remove them,
and you have to remove entries from inventory and the rest
of the VPD.

It is a mystery to me why AIX lacks a deinstallp that
does all of this, and instead has mush in the General
Programming Concepts to the effect that LPP developers
"should provide an lpp.deinst" while providing no 
advice on how to go about it.
