Hello Ayappan, hello Sangamesh,
reinstalling bzip2 was the right solution. Thanks.
I uninstalled bzip2 with: rpm -e --nodeps bzip2
Then I tried first to reinstall the rpm.rte package, but it failed... uninstalling was also not possible.
So I installed bzip2 and checked the dnf installation and it works well.
Thanks a lot guys, again :-)
best regards
Joerg

Thanks Ayappan,
I will try this.
@SANGAMESH MALLAYYA : Yes, bzip2 was already installed before, also the rpm.rte package was already on version 4.15.1.0.

Hi Joerg,
Was their any error during the rpm.rte update as part of dnf.sh script run ?
bzip2 rpm was already installed before installing the dnf ?

Looks like something wrong with the bzip2 library present on that machine.
ls -l /opt/freeware/lib/libbz2.a
dump -Tov /opt/freeware/lib/libbz2.a | grep GLOBAL
