Unable to remove APAR -- any solution ?

Hello

I would like to remove the APARs
Code:
# instfix -ivk IY68989
IY68989 Abstract: write to mmapped space hangs

Fileset bos.mp:5.3.0.30 is applied on the system.
Fileset bos.mp64:5.3.0.30 is applied on the system.
All filesets for IY68989 were found.
# instfix -ivk IY73497
IY73497 Abstract: ftpd does not close Passive Connections

Fileset bos.net.tcp.client:5.3.0.30 is applied on the system.
All filesets for IY73497 were found

As both of them should be removed for Oracle to work. Those apars came preloaded with the system:
Code:
# oslevel -r
5300-08
# oslevel -s
5300-08-01-0819

I tried to remove them by
Code:
smitty reject

didn't work
and
Code:
smitty remove

gave me too many dependencies which cannot be removed

Any solution to remove them ?

Would deleting these files help ?
Code:
# find / -name bos.mp*
/usr/lpp/bos.mp
/usr/lpp/bos.mp/deinstl/bos.mp.pre_d
/usr/lpp/bos.mp/deinstl/bos.mp.al
