I haven't had much luck getting any responses to my DNF questions, so I thought I'd try and help with something I ran into with the libraries.
check your $LIBPATH
If its not set try setting it to this: LIBPATH=/usr/lib
Then retry the install
If your still getting a failure check these directories for the libcrypto.a
/opt/freeware/lib
/opt/freeware/lib64
If the libarary is found run this command against the library:
ar -tv libcrypto.a
and look for the libcrypto.so.1.1
If the libcrypto.so.1.1 is found set your LIBPATH to include that directory.
If the libary is not found download it from the AIX toobox:
AIX Toolbox for Open Source Software : Downloads alpha (ibm.com)
Use rpm to install libgcrypt
You should be able to continue your dnf install after you get the correct library.

Subject: DNF failed due to libcrypto.so.1.1
I'm try to install dnf in AIX 7.3 server . I'm getting below error
Installing the packages...
error: Failed dependencies:
libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.1.1) is needed by libdnf-0.39.1-64_5.ppc
dnf installation failed.
If the failure was due to a space issue, increase the size of /opt and re-run the script again.
Another reason for failure could be mixing of Toolbox packages and packages from other sources.
You can try installing the downloaded dnf packages from /tmp/dnf-20231003152938 manually.
