  • 1.  Dependency errors

    Posted Tue September 28, 2021 08:36 AM

    Hi All,

    So here is my tail of whoa.
    I recently returned to a company and started to investigate YUM dependency errors on all our AIX servers.
    What I can glean, is that certain packages are very specific to AIX 7.2, and there are plenty of dependencies going back to AIX7.1 and AIX6.1.

    I have rolled back all the packages and left the system with expat,tcl and tk and a few other to get me going.

    I then rolled out the yum installation twice, and yet I come back to the same issue each time. 
    Please see below.
    This is the sum total of packages currently installed.

    expect-5.42.1-3.ppc
curl-7.52.1-1.ppc
gettext-0.19.7-1.ppc
sqlite-3.15.2-1.ppc
db-4.8.24-3.ppc

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

    Looks like AIX 6.1 & 7.1 specific repos are enabled on a AIX 7.2 system which should not be the case.
    Please check the /opt/freeware/etc/yum/yum.conf file. Only the ppc ,noarch & ppc-7.2 repos should be enabled.

    Hi,

    Thanx for the suggestion. It did fix the issue. 
    Not sure how I missed that one.
