Hi,

I mirror the IBM aixtoolbox repository to my NIM server using "wget --mirror ftp://..." 

My last mirror ran successfully on Thursday 14th December 2017, but I'm seeing dependency issues with libX11 when trying to update the expect and tk packages.

There is a forum thread from November saying that running a "yum clean all" from the client resolved the issue, but it didn't for me.

You said "My last mirror ran successfully on Thursday 14th December 2017". I believe the mentioned date is wrong, if you mean 2016 instead of 2017, then we have removed libXrender-0.9.9 in early, 2017. I think there is some issue with your repository. Please update your repository, run "yum clean all" and try again.

Thanks and Regards,

The date mentioned when I last mirrored the repository was correct. Even so, just to be safe, I deleted the entire repository yesterday, remirrored it all, ran "yum clean all" on the client, and still have the same problem.

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I've also noticed that the version of libXrender on my end is still 0.9.9-1, not 0.9.8-1 like shown in your output.

# yum list libXrender
Available Packages
libXrender.ppc                         0.9.9-1                    AIX_Toolbox_ppc

You said you removed libXrender-0.9.9 from the repository, but it's still listed in ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/libXrender/

Hi All,

Issue resolved - The problem was the way I was running the createrepo. Well, not so much the way I was running it, but from where.

I initially was doing the following, which was overwriting the data in each of the ppc/repodata, ppc-7.1/repodata, etc...locations.

createrepo /export/nim/aixtoolbox/noarch
createrepo /export/nim/aixtoolbox/ppc
createrepo /export/nim/aixtoolbox/ppc-7.1
createrepo /export/nim/aixtoolbox/ppc-7.2

Running the createrepo command once, from the top level directory, resolved the problem, as it created a repodata in /export/nim/aixtoolbox/repodata, and thus not overwriting the previously mentioned locations.

createrepo /export/nim/aixtoolbox

Hopefully this helps someone else that comes across this problem.

Regards,

Kristian

During the past couple of weeks I have begun experiencing a very similar problem as originally posted, as it appears that the 0.9.9-1 version of libXrender has reappeared on AIX Toolbox, and that it still has unresolved dependencies.  The error I am currently getting when attempting a yum update is:

# yum update

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

When checking what is currently available on AIX Toolbox, I get:

# yum list libXrender
Installed Packages
libXrender.ppc                                        0.9.8-1waixX11                                         @AIX_Toolbox

Available Packages
libXrender.ppc                                        0.9.9-1                                                AIX_Toolbox

So it looks to me that the newer code has reappeared on AIX Toolbox as well as its dependency problems.  Can this be looked into?

Thank you,

Thanks for reporting the issue.

We removed the faulty version and yum should work fine now.

Recently we made some changes to the YUM which added this version by mistake.

Thanks,
