VMWare 6.5 Patch Failure on DellEMC customized ISO install?

I have a PowerEdge R820 running the following Dell-customized VMware installation profile:

 

Name: DellEMC-ESXi-6.5U3-13932383-A00
Description: Updates ESXi 6.5 Image Profile-ESXi-6.5.0-20190602001-standard

When trying to apply the latest VMware vSphere 6.5.x patch, release name "ESXi650-201908001", downloaded from the patches website for VMware (filename ESXi650-201908001.zip) I get the following error:

[root@colorado:/vmfs/volumes/5d62f626-cf44ac3c-bc8b-000af70219b0/Updates] esxcli software vib install -d "/vmfs/volumes/5d62f626-cf44ac3c-bc8b-000af70219b0/Updates/ESXi650-20190801-Patches.zip"

[DependencyError] VIB QLC_bootbank_qedf_1.2.61.0-1OEM.600.0.0.2768847 requires qedentv_ver = X.9.31.0, but the requirement cannot be satisfied within the ImageProfile.
VIB QLC_bootbank_qedrntv_3.9.31.0-1OEM.650.0.0.4598673 requires qedentv_ver = X.9.31.0, but the requirement cannot be satisfied within the ImageProfile.
VIB QLC_bootbank_scsi-qedil_1.2.13.1-1OEM.600.0.0.2494585 requires qedentv_ver = X.9.31.0, but the requirement cannot be satisfied within the ImageProfile.
Please refer to the log file for more details.

When looking at the install profile VIBs, I see the following for the qedentv package: "qedentv 3.9.31.1-1OEM.650.0.0.4598673" It looks like the VMware patch is requiring 3.9.31.0 but 3.9.31.1-10OEM is installed. I searched Dell's site but can't find the ESXi650-201908001 release patch.

The DellEMC ISO was created on 8/25 according to the profile description, and the 201908001 patch was released on 8/20, but the version is DellEMC-ESXi-6.5U3-13932383-A00 indicating this is based on VMware build 13932383 which is pre-EP15 patch (the one I'm trying to install). The ESXi650-201908001 patch would put the build number at 14320405 according to the VMware Build Numbers page.

Any ideas? Thanks.

P.S. The forum message editor doesn't work properly on Safari on macOS apparently, and the first post was all jumbled up. None of the HTML formatting options were present or visible either.

I am dealing with this too. Did you find a way to patch qedentv to X.11.15.0?
