Looks like you have old repositories enabled in Installation Manager preferences, for which the installation files are missing.

Try below steps to resolve this issue:

  1. If you can enable GUI, Open IM, go to File > preferences > Repositories. Do a test connection for all enabled repositories and uncheck/disable repositories that are not working/you no longer read.
  2. If you cannot enable GUI, there are 2 options
    1. Modify com.ibm.cic.agent.core.prefs file in order to enable/disable repositories (default location in linux: /var/ibm/InstallationManager/.settings/com.ibm.cic.agent.core.prefs)
    2. Enable/Disable repositories using 'imcl -c' command line https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSDV2W_1.8.5/com.ibm.cic.agent.console.doc/topics/t_console_pref_repository.html#remove_rep

Once old repositories for which installation files are missing are disabled, try installing the fixpack again.
