A libopt error after fresh dnf install

  • 1.  A libopt error after fresh dnf install

    Hi Team,

    Correction:  subject mentions libopt. Should be libpopt.

    After a successful fresh install using the dnf toolbox script on a AIX 7.1 system with no previous yum installed, we get the error below. Can you please help?

    root@SVR-NIM01 # dnf update
    Traceback (most recent call last):

    Hi Philip,
    Can you also share the output of "ls -l /usr/opt/rpm/lib/libintl.a"?

    Do you have LIBPATH exported ?
    What is the output of "ar -X32_64 -tv /usr/opt/rpm/lib/libintl.a"?

    Looks like packages are very old and out of sync here ( gettext , readline, bzip2). 
    If it is okay to remove all the rpms and do a fresh install of dnf/rpms, then you can follow this blog --> https://community.ibm.com/community/user/power/blogs/jan-harris1/2022/05/25/destroyrpms?CommunityKey=10c1d831-47ee-4d92-a138-b03f7896f7c9 
    If not possible, then we have to fix the issues one by one which takes lot of back & forth conversation.

    Thank you for the reply.

    Removing all rpms is not an option I'm afraid. I tried to remove the oldies. But when removing rpms like gettext and readline, I receive the following error:

    root@SVR-NIM01 # rpm -e readline-6.1-2.ppc gettext-0.10.40-8.ppc --nodeps
    /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.p8nqaa[2]: /sbin/install-info:  not found.
    error: %preun(gettext-0.10.40-8.ppc) scriptlet failed, exit status 127
    error: gettext-0.10.40-8.ppc: erase failed
    /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.pNnqab[2]: /sbin/install-info:  not found.
    /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.pNnqab[3]: /sbin/install-info:  not found.
    error: %preun(readline-6.1-2.ppc) scriptlet failed, exit status 127
    error: readline-6.1-2.ppc: erase failed
    root@SVR-NIM01 # ls -l /sbin/install-info
    lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     system           32 Nov 18 08:37 /sbin/install-info -> ../opt/freeware/bin/install-info
    root@SVR-NIM01 # ls -l /opt/freeware/bin/install-info
    ls: 0653-341 The file /opt/freeware/bin/install-info does not exist.
    root@SVR-NIM01 #

    Any ideas?

    Kind regards,

    Philip.

    Add "--noscripts" also to the rpm -e command line. You can run "rpm -Va" which will show the affected rpms & files.

    Right. That worked!
    root@SVR-NIM01 # dnf repolist
    repo id                                                                                            repo name

    AIX_Toolbox_71                                                                                     AIX 7.1 specific repository
    AIX_Toolbox_noarch                                                                                 AIX noarch repository
    root@SVR-NIM01 #

    Many thanks!
