Hello All

On the last dependency installed we have:

rpm -U httpd-2.4.51-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm apr\-1.7.0\-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm expat\-2.4.2\-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm ....etc

rpm -e db4
error: Failed dependencies:

Please assist in how to handle this dependency/conflict before httpd can be installed.

Thanks so much.

Hi Jan,

Looks like db4 package is installed from some other source. AIX toolbox does not have db4-4.8.30.
I think what is happening here is db4-4.8.30 (db4)  package name is different than db-5.3.28 (db) and hence conflict is coming.
If db4 would have been same name (db-4.8.30) then db-5.3.28 would have updated. In your case two different packages (because package names are different db4 and db) are owning same file. Can you please share output of following command.

# rpm -qa db4

To install db-5  you will have to remove db4

Hi Jan,

As I thought db4 package is from a different site and hence it is not compatible with AIX toolbox packages.
To overcome this issue we will have to remove db4 but as db4 is a dependency for AIX-rpm it is tough.
Actually this should never happen AIX-rpm is a virtual rpm package that is created to provide (resolve dependencies for) AIX native libraries (or libraries/files those are not provided by rpm packages) for rpm packages.

Please try one thing and see if after that can you remove db4 package.
Run 'updtvpkg' command (this will rebuild AIX-rpm package and hope it will remove the dependency of db4 if no more needed)
After successfully completion try to remove db4 again.

If this does not work then share the output of 
# rpm -q --whatrequires db4

Hi Sanket

So strange, I have done the updtvpkg several times before the ML update, not after.
It all worked now.

Thanks so much.

This version of httpd has 32bit and 64bit support
To start 64bit httpd use : /opt/freeware/sbin/apachectl_64 start
