This might not be helpful, but Metalink (MOS) shows that similar package dependency errors sometimes appeared when 11.1.0.6 was installed on AIX 5.3. Some of the article show how to bypass the error if Oracle will not be configured in a RAC environment. You might start with the following:
https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&id=879102.1 https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&id=567920.1 https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&id=741422.1 https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&id=784193.1
I believe that one of the above article also stated that the check for rsct.basic.rte incorrectly failed with a more recent release of AIX, so that might explain why that check was removed.
Good luck.
