./updatePortal.sh -install -installDir "/data/IBM/WebSphere/PortalServer" -fixpack -fixpackDir "/data/IBM/WebSphere/PortalServer/update/fixpacks" -fixpackID DUMMY

Does anyone have an idea why we are getting this error?

Many thanks in advance for your feedback

Suggest u to download new portal upgrade which comes with WP 6.0.1.1
This should resolve your issue.
Thanks & Regards
Vinod Vishnu Shirke
Remember, we are now running 6.0.0.0 and our customer doesn't want to upgrade further then 6.0.1.1
Kind regards
