Double-check by doing 'grep /usr/sbin/nsr /var/sadm/install/contents'.
If there are items there, it's a package and the package name is at the
end.  (The package may be either SUNWxxxx or LGTOxxxx).

If there's truly no package, then someone has copied the binaries over
outside of the packaging mechanism, and that's not a good thing.

You can install the new package and it will overwrite any existing files
that conflict.

I would worry if you have a full install of 5.1 (server, node, etc.) and
you only install the client portion of 7.2.  Then you'd have different
versions of the client and server on the machine simultaneously.
