Hi there,

Yet another issue with dnf. I had dnf working fine on an AIX 7.2 (7200-05-09-2446) LPAR, and I ran a "dnf update", which worked.

However, since then, dnf gives the following errors:

With LIBPATH=/opt/freeware:/usr/lib:/usr/lib64:

root:e360_test:/:# dnf --version
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/freeware/bin/dnf", line 57, in <module>

With LIBPATH=/usr/lib:/usr/lib64:/opt/freeware I get the same issue. If I create a symlink from /usr/lib/libiconv.a to /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv.a I resolve the libiconv issue but get others:

Any ideas? As mentioned, before I ran the update dnf was working fine.

Cheers,

Peter
