I downloaded and installed the dnf script from the below link and it was working as expected.   Then I removed 2 packages that were causing conflicts when I attempted to do a dnf upgrade gtk2.  Now dnf is broken with the below.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/ezinstall/ppc/dnf_aixtoolbox.sh

Packages removed due to dnf dependency issues while upgrading gtk2:
db4
python-libs

# dnf list
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /opt/freeware/bin/python3_32 because of the following errors:
rtld: 0712-001 Symbol _GLOBAL__AIXI_libexpat_so was referenced
from module python3_32(), but a runtime definition
of the symbol was not found.
rtld: 0712-001 Symbol _GLOBAL__AIXD_libexpat_so was referenced
from module python3_32(), but a runtime definition
of the symbol was not found.

Hi Steven,
Please use AIX open source forum for issues related to AIX toolbox or open source. 
https://ibm.biz/aixoss_forum

Regarding your issue would like to understand more.
Were you already having open source packages installed on your system from AIX toolbox before installing dnf ? 
How did you remove the package ? Looks like removing package would have removed some other dependency. 
Can you please try to reinstall expat package directly from AIX toolbox  as an rpm ?
Also please share output of "rpm -qa" 
It will be better if you can open a thread in AIX open source forum and we will discuss it there.
