If you can use Target disk mode to another mac
use that mac to run a new download of Leopard Mac OSX 10.5.8 Combo
update
if it allows you to instal to your G5
Otherwise it is probably an archive and instal from Leopard disk
followed by a new download of Leopard Mac OSX 10.5.8 Combo update
( PPC version ? )

Sequence leading up to this as follows
Downloaded 1.5.8 and proceeded with install
Instal went right to the end then came up with "Install failed
source file damaged"
would not then reboot
since then I have run Disk Warrior ran to completion with minor
errors only noted
still no boot
ran disk utility from leopard DVD. Completed repairs
satisfactorily, it said
then ran repair permissions, many changes but ok
still will not boot
zapped pram
still will not boot though a folder icon now flashes up briefly
before the apple
