Yes. We found this bug a while back (SCR 416983), it looks like the
prerequisite for 'inst' was misnamed: It should have been
common_static_performer, but ended up common_performer. You're fine
doing a 'rulesoverride on' in this case.

I don't know why the last one (replacing performer_eoe.sw.performer1_2)
didn't install if you have the prior versions, but your overall
evaluation is correct.
