The file is called - ejre-7u55-fcs-b13-linux-ppc-e500v2-headless-17_mar_2014.tar.gz

I uninstalled the previous version then tried installing the new version and got the same error. I tried reinstalling the version I had previously and get the same error message.

Now I don't have Java 7 SE on my NAS and can't use Minimserver.

This sounds like a problem with the recently updated patters package. Have you contacted patters about this?

Thanks Simon, I'll try that although I don't see how that would impact on reinstalling the versions I had working before.
