    Error I am getting trying to run dnf update after having server patched:

    I also ran the rpmdb --rebuildb with no errors as well as ran the updtvpkg.

    Trying to figure out what caused the issue.

    Hi Joshua,

    Please let me know the output of "rpm -qa | egrep "dnf|libdnf" and "rpm -qf /opt/freeware/lib/libdnf.a"

    It seems  libdnf present is of 32-bit version.

    Joshua,

    Hi, good day to you.

    I found this https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/aix-open-source-tip-potential-dnf-errors-when-migrating-aix-73 which might help resolve the issue as it talks of "Could not load module librpm.so" having upgraded to AIX 7.3.

    Many thanks, Steve

    Hi Joshua,

    As I was guessing you still have 32-bit DNF rpm packages installed.

    Please run the dnf script which should be able to update dnf to 64-bit version.

    When I run the dnf script it errored out.  I ended up removing some rpms that it complained about and then re-ran the install.  Looks to be working now.
