ESXi 6.7 update patch fails with DependencyError related to Image Profile

ardware: HPE Proliant DL380 Gen 10
ESXi installation : VMware-ESXi-6.7.0-Update1-10302608-HPE-Gen9plus-670.U1.10.3.5.12-Oct2018

When I try to apply Patch Release ESXi670-201901001.zip, I got the following error:

[DependencyError]
VIB QLC_bootbank_qwdrntv_3.9.18.0 – 10EM.670.0.0.7535516 requires qedentv_ver = x.9.18.0, but the requirement cannot be satisfied within the ImageProfie.

ESXi hosts were updated with latest firmware SPP version 2018.11.0 before ESXi installation.

It seems image profile does not match.

To get image profiles from patch, use the following command:

#esxcli software sources profile list -d /vmfs/volumes/ ISO/ESXi670-201901001.zip

Shows:

Make sure you put the host in maintenance mode and confirm all running VMs have been moved off to other hosts since it will require a reboot.

To to upgrade/install the patch, run the following command:

#excli software profile update -d /vmfs/volumes/ISO/ESXi670-201901001.zip -p ESXi-6.7.0-20190104001-standard
