   I haven't been keeping GNV current on my main Alpha
system, so I know nothing.  "prod show prod /full gnv" here
suggests that I still have "DEC AXPVMS GNV V1.6-2
Full LP" "Installed".  Interestingly, I see that I downloaded
a newer kit, DEC-AXPVMS-GNV-V0201-003-1.ZIP, back around
18-FEB-2011.  That archive seems to have been created using
Zip without "-V", but PRODUCT LIST seems happy enough with
its contents:

ALP $ prod list gnv

Performing product kit validation of signed kits ...
%PCSI-I-VALPASSED, validation of ALP$DKC100:[gnv]dec-axpvms-gnv-
v0201-003-1.pcsi
$compressed;1 succeeded

The following product has been selected:
    DEC AXPVMS GNV V2.1-3                  Layered Product
[...]


   The same seems to be true for the newest kit,
DEC-AXPVMS-GNV-V0300-001-1.ZIP:

ALP $ prod list gnv

Performing product kit validation of signed kits ...
%PCSI-I-VALPASSED, validation of ALP$DKC100:[gnv]DEC-AXPVMS-GNV-
V0300-001-1.PCSI
$COMPRESSED;1 succeeded

The following product has been selected:
    DEC AXPVMS GNV V3.0-1                  Layered Product
[...]

   On IA64, again, Zip without "-V", and the results are
similar:

IT $ prod list gnv

Performing product kit validation of signed kits ...
%PCSI-I-VALPASSED, validation of IT$DKC0:[GNV]HP-I64VMS-GNV-
V0300-001-1.PCSI$COM

The following product has been selected:

[...]


   An actual installation seems to do as well.

IT $ prod show utility

   Are you using some obsolete PCSI (or UnZip)?  (Or UnZip
with some unfortunate options?  "unzip -v"?)
