Hi,
Our dnf was working earlier, but now it looks like broken

Hi, I am no expert but have been installing DNF on all of our systems. Had the same issue.. worked ok, then something installed got updated and broke. The issue is you can not have Perzl openssl installed.
Make sure nothing is using it and remove it.
rpm -e openssl-devel-0.9.7d-2.ppc
rpm -e openssl-doc-0.9.7d-2.ppc
rpm -e openssl-0.9.7d-2.ppc
This is the first step in my process to install DNF on AIX since we have a lot or perzl rpms installed.. Perzl and IBM toolbox do not play well
Good luck

I don't know what method you used to install DNF, but it does not seem that you used the recommended installation, since the python3 version you have requires a newer gettext.

Yours:
gettext-0.10.40-6.ppc

# dnf repoquery --requires python3-3.7.12-1.ppc | grep -i gettext
Last metadata expiration check: 0:19:25 ago on Sat Nov 26 23:35:57 CST 2022.

Hi,
Now I am getting below error when trying to run gtk-demo..

How to resolve this.
Do we need to downgrade gtk2 or gettext rpm level?

Thanks, for your help.

IBMIM is not an AIX Open Source project, so you should consult with whichever application you are trying to install with IBMIM.

I do know this error is usually due to invalid $DISPLAY setting. Make sure you can run "xclock" without any errors.

I think they just need to use NIM and from IBM linux toolbox install the DNF.

Starting Installation Manager

this is not for AIX.

I don't think they are using IBMIM to install DNF.
IBMIM is a common tool for installing some IBM software, like WAS.

I see you already had a thread open for this same issue!
--> https://community.ibm.com/community/user/power/discussion/after-updgrade-gtk2-rpm-some-application-not-working

There, you said the gtk-demo was working.

# gtk-demo

** (gtk-demo:7340540): WARNING **: 10:25:12.454: Cannot find demo data file "appwindow.c"

This is a normal message. I get this when I run gtk-demo, but the demo comes up.

So I do not see the errors you are reporting are related to IBMIM, or its underlying eclipse/java.
!STACK 1
org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles [gtk_init_check() failed]
at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:4559)
at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.createDisplay(Display.java:958)

Google searches show this error across platforms, it can be related to xauth errors, or Xserver memory limitations, .ini file permissions, or other issues.
We cannot debug this application here.

Like I said, you need to engage the IBMIM support, through the product that has advised you to use it. Many products have a "command line" option to complete their installations. The errors indicate an issue with the display.

NOTE: I see you have an old gtk+ package, this does not look like a package from the AIX Toolbox.

We have recommended that you clean up non-Toolbox packages and fix DNF. If you are not able to do that, then you will just need to compare your rpm versions to the working LPAR, and match the packages manually.

Here is a blog that explains how you can clean out all your packages and start with a fresh DNF setup.

Hi Jane,
xclock is working fine.
But only that IBM Installation Manager splash screen is not working. It is started the installation splash screen with yellow color, and it dies afterwards.
Looks like there is some library or rpm missing or need to be downgrade. Similar application is working in other server with downgrade gtk2 rpm.
What to do, if I need to downgrade gtk2 rpm from gtk2-2.24.30-2waixX11.ppc to gtk2-2.10.6-4.ppc level? Let me know what other dependency rpm needs to be downgrade with it, if possible, otherwise I will face lot of dependency missing issue.

@Minesh Patel,
I checked and dnf is there.
# ls -lrt /opt/freeware/bin/dnf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 5 Oct 12 12:23 /opt/freeware/bin/dnf -> dnf-3

did you install openssh and openssl from IBM website. if your are not using Openssl and openssh from IBM site then please try to download this and install on the server first.

1) Download the latest available "OpenSSL or OpenSSH n.n.n" for your AIX version from the following download links:

OpenSSH: https://www.ibm.com/resources/mrs/assets?source=aixbp&S_PKG=openssh
OpenSSL: https://login.ibm.com/oidc/sps/auth?client_id=OTVhNzdjNzgtZDczNi00&Target=https%3A%2F%2Flogin.ibm.com%2Foidc%2Fendpoint%2Fdefault%2Fauthorize%3FqsId%3D580a6a4f-35f2-4291-8056-1adfb708b081%26client_id%3DOTVhNzdjNzgtZDczNi00

Hi,
I reinstall dnf with script and then run dnf update.
All went fine.
Now when I ran gtk-demo, it is still showing below error.

:/usr/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse # gtk-demo
Could not load program gtk-demo:
Symbol resolution failed for /opt/freeware/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.a(libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0) because:
Symbol strcmp (number 533) is not exported from dependent
module /opt/freeware/lib/libgmodule-2.0.a(libgmodule-2.0.so.0).
Examine .loader section symbols with the 'dump -Tv' command.

I already recommended that you clean up the old packages then start new.
It seems you did not remove the old stuff, since I see packages like
glib-1.2.10-2.ppc
gtk+-1.2.10-4.ppc
Those packages are NOT from AIX, and provided, older glib libraries. I suspect something conflicted with glib2 and gtk2.

I have installed gtk2 multiple times and have NO errors with these versions.

glib2-2.56.1-3.ppc
gtk2-2.24.30-3waixX11.ppc

dump -X64 -Tv /opt/freeware/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.a | grep -w strcmp
--> Nothing is returned.

Check this command on your system. If something is returned, then you need to reinstall.
As I already explained, you have a non-toolbox packages, I would recommend cleaning those out first!

Hi,
I followed below link and install all gtk2 related rpm with ./install.sh script.

https://developer.ibm.com/tutorials/installing-and-configuring-gtk-on-aix/

Now gtk-demo working fine, but looks like dnf again broken.

How to get it working again?

Hello
I have already explained, in multiple cases and updates, that when you have mixed packages, and try to fix them one-by-one, you are going to have ongoing issues.

The only recommendation I have is for you to scrub your packages and start over again. Otherwise this cycle will continue.
