  • 1.  Cannot install ansible on AIX 7.2

    Posted Mon March 25, 2024 10:05 AM

    Hi Team,

    I tried to install ansible (yum install ansible) on a AIX 7.2 LPAR (7200-05-05-2246) and I am getting the following message:

    Error: Package: ansible-core-2.14.13-1.noarch (AIX_Toolbox_noarch)
               Requires: (ansible >= 7.2.0 if ansible <= 2.9.25)

    Any ideas?

    Regards,

    Philip.

    Thanks for the link; you made my day. I have done everything that is mentioned in it, and now everything is working well for me. I was stuck with more problems, but now that they are also solved, I want to share them with you all is this https://ukwritings.com/ website. If you are also in need, you can also get help from them. I was talking about the problems we all students face in our lives, which are related to all the writing works, like assignments, essays, and others. If you are also stuck or feeling lazy to do them, you can get help from ukwritings to make your life easier.
