Jim,
Dont worry about salvaging it. Go ahead and uninstall it,
then reinstall it. All the data in the backup directory
is still there and will be migrated again. So you wont
lose anything by uninstalling.

Good idea - I've got lots of space, tho. Thanks Paul, I hadn't checked
that yet.
But I found the problem - WINZIP!
I untarred the CDROM tarfile from Passport Advantage with Winzip with
Smart CR/LF translation enabled (the default). With this particular
file, FILE19.PKT, it will mistakenly translate characters, rendering the
file corrupted. Below, "FILE19.PKT" is the good file untarred by Winzip
with smart CR/LF turned off, the other is the original. They have
different sizes:
-rw-r----- 1 25583 system 189808956 Mar 01 13:27 FILE19.PKT
-rw-r----- 1 25583 system 191578978 Mar 01 12:32
FILE19.PKT.winzip_default.untar
If you test the original file with sapack "preview" mode, it gives the
same error I got during the upgrade:
$ ../patch/7.1.4-NVS-CDROM/instbund/bin/aix5-r1/sapack -upP
./FILE19.PKT.winzip_default.untar
messages:
unpack: input error (err=54, blkno=2)
FATAL.
(If there is interest, I can post an sapack manpage, with warnings and
disclaimers...)
The new FILE19.PKT, untarred with Winzip without smart CR/LF enabled,
works fine with sapack. I have now placed the files in usr/OV that it
would have under normal conditions.
SO! I have an answer to my Question#1.
As for Question#2: I captured the after script from the next
FilePackage block, FILE20.PKT. So, given that I can unpack FILE19.PKT
and place the resulting files in /usr/OV, I should be able to execute
the commands in the after script from FILE20.PKT.
Question#2 now becomes: Is there anything else that instalnv or
children do beyond the effects of wserverc and it's children? If not, I
can salvage this upgrade. If so, I'm not so sure.
Also looking for help with Question#3...
Thanks,
-Jim

I would check your disk space those particular files(especially www.tar)
are very large.
