    Hi Aditya,

    can you reveal which exact rpm.rte version we need for the update?

    Latest on MRS for AIX 7.3 is 4.18.1.2007 and I get an error* when running dnf update for the same.

    *: The operation would result in removing the following protected packages: dnf

    Hi Levente,

    As mentioned in the MRS site https://wwwstage.ibm.com/resources/mrs/assets/DownloadList?source=aixbp&lang=en_US

    For AIX 7.3.0.x - 7.3.1.x - It can be 4.15.1.2015 

    For AIX 7.3.2.x - 7.3.3.x - It can be 4.18.1.2007.

    Can you provide the complete output of dnf command and also the output of below commands.

    rpm -qa
