Hi :)

Customer reported an issue with SAS connection to teradata after AIX + RPMs updates

ERROR: Could not load module /opt/teradata/client/17.20/lib64/libcliv2.so. Dependent module /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv.a(shr4_64.o) could not be loaded. Member shr4_64.o is not found in archive

After some investigation I found that the shr4_64.o is really not a part of current version

# rpm -qf /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv.a
libiconv-1.19-1.ppc

# ar -X64 -tv /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv.a
rwxr-xr-x   204/1     1249393 Mar 10 07:32 2026 libiconv.so.2

The previously installed version 1.17 had it

# ar -X64 -tv /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv.a
rwxr-xr-x   203/1     1227053 Jun 02 11:18 2022 libiconv.so.2
rwxr-x---     0/0     310186 Nov 09 10:05 2023 shr4_64.o

Not sure if the 1.19 is still the valid one, because not found on aix-toolbox rpms overview.

Current solution was the downgrade to original version and at least temporary exclude libiconv* from dnf.conf 

Looks like a bug for me, so be aware of it. But if it is a feature please let me know :D

Thanks

Hi Martin,

In one of my system I can see shr4_64.o in the listing.

# rpm -qf /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv.a
libiconv-1.19-1.ppc
#  ar -X64 -tv /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv.a
rwxr-xr-x   204/1     1249393 Mar 10 01:32 2026 libiconv.so.2
rwxr-x---     0/0     310186 Apr 18 22:25 2026 shr4_64.o

Can you try reinstalling the libiconv rpm and see if you can get the required shared object.
