    dnf installed successfully.
    Please run 'dnf update' to update packages to the latest level.

    Please note, RPM packages are downloaded in dnf cache /var/cache/dnf.
    RPM packages install files go under the path /opt.
    Hence it is recommended to always keep at least 512MB of free space in /var & /opt
    to avoid any download and installation/update failures.

    Creating the dnf.conf file with required locale repositories.
    The default /opt/freeware/etc/dnf/dnf.conf has been saved as /opt/freeware/etc/dnf/dnf.conf_local_bak

    Thanks

    @Shahir Ali FR

    While Ranjit replies,
    Try removing openssl manually.

    rpm -e openssl-1.0.1g-1.ppc

    The reason being we need to get dnf to use libcrypto from /usr/lib and then try dnf update??

    From your rpm -qa output I do not see python3.9 installed in your system.

    # rpm -qa | grep python3.9-3.9
    python3.9-3.9.23-1.ppc

    Do you have something like the above? We need Python 3.9 installed in your system. 

    > What do you mean by "The reason being we need to get dnf to use libcrypto from /usr/lib and then try dnf update??"

    > Please clarify.

    Toolbox packages are compiled using openssl 3 now and formerly openssl 1. libcrypto comes in AIX base. So we need to get the libdnf library to use the libcrypto coming from the AIX base openssl. 

    It looks like your system uses an older openssl rpm, which toolbox used to ship back then, which dnf does not need. 

    So do you have Python 3.9 toolbox in your system??

    Hi,

    Hmm, that is surprising now. 

    Did you remove dnf by mistake??

    Before we could suggest anything else, 
    What is the output of ls -l opt/freeware/bin/dnf-3 and ls -l /opt/freeware/lib/libdnf.a

    Normally when someone removes openssl RPM dnf should pick up the correct libcrypto and must work.

    Are you using two LPARs??

    > Do you want me to do dnf install again do go from there please? Let me know how we can get around this.

    Yes, please install dnf once again using the script from the website. Your LPAR root@AIXHost does not have dnf in it.

    Hi Shahir,

    Is the output of  ls -l /opt/freeware/bin/dnf coming as dnf-3 if you have reinstalled?

    Hi,

    > May be because we have removed sudo for openssl rpm ??

    Yes. A good practice will be to continuously run dnf update once in two weeks.

    Now that the dnf is working, you can install anything from the AIX toolbox.

    Like dnf install sudo.

    To check what all we have, you can run the command dnf list.

    Hi Aditya,

    I have downloaded the iso and did and install.

    In this case how do you recommend.

    Thanks

    Hi Shahir,

    The output you pasted in discussion number:21 is from the downloaded iso ?

    Can you send the output of "dnf repolist" ?

    With iso if one runs "dnf update" then the packages will be updated to available latest versions from the iso image.

    Hi Team

    @Aditya Kamath  @Ranjit Ranjan

    With this above out put  ( putting it below again) 

    Meanwhile.... with the DNF install, update we are doing ...

    My understanding was , that the DNF repository,( for AIX , i.e the toolbox Linux source) would be on our NIM server. And we did  NFS exported to all AIX servers.

    But from the below command and output , that it is referencing a 'local' DNF repository. On each server we do DNF install

    root@AIX HostName:/>> dnf repolist

    repo id                                         repo name

    Local_AIX_Toolbox                     Local AIX generic repository

    Local_AIX_Toolbox_73               Local AIX 7.3 specific repository

    Local_AIX_Toolbox_noarch           Local AIX noarch repository

    root@AIX HostName:/>>

    Does this means that each server will need to have a local repository created ?

    Or how this is working?

    Thank you

    Shahir

    Hi Shahir,

    You have a flexibility in having DNF local repository.

    There are 2 options.

    1. Creating local repo using AIX toolbox iso media image.  
      https://community.ibm.com/community/user/blogs/sangamesh-mallayya1/2022/02/09/creating-local-repo-with-dnf-and-aix-toolbox-media
    2. Using reposync to sync AIX Toolbox packages to one of the repo server.
      https://community.ibm.com/community/user/blogs/sumitra-dawn/2025/06/03/configuring-dnf-and-creating-local-repositories-on

    Option 1, can again be used in two different ways.

    1.1. Use iso media to mount it in a single par.

    1.2. Mount iso media in one of the server and export the mount path using nfs.

     The disadvantage with 1.2. is that you would be exporting mount to multiple clients without getting regular packages updates from AIX toolbox.

    Anyway, In case of option 1 you are restricted to installing packages available in the iso media only. 

    Hence, if you are export nfs mount to multiple clients lpar then it is recommended to use option 2.

    Hi Aditya

    @Aditya Kamath  @Ranjit Ranjan

    On this thread  https://community.ibm.com/community/user/discussion/dnf-repolist-error-2    I am unable to reply or do anything there.

    So thought of asking here.

    There you asked me to remove openssl and then try dnf update.

    Why we are doing this please?

    What if the application and the team requires this rpm ?

    Also I can not see this rpm on servers where I did dnf update.

    How we are going to address this please?

    Thanks

    Shahir

    Hi,

    > There you asked me to remove openssl and then try dnf update.

    > Why we are doing this please?

    AIX now has openssl version 3 in AIX base. Not part of AIX toolbox like before. Even dnf and aix toolbox packages are linked to openssl version 3 coming from AIX base. So that old openssl RPM is no longer needed.
    See: ls -l /usr/lib/libssl.a
    ls -l /usr/lib/libcrypto.a

    If you have these two then you have openssl from AIX base. So no problem if you do not have toolbox openssl and your application needs.

    > What if the application and the team requires this rpm ?
    If your application needs then link it to openssl from AIX base as mentioned above.

    > Also I can not see this rpm on servers where I did dnf update.

    Yes, because AIX users no longer need openssl rpm.

    > How we are going to address this please?
    By using those two and other libraries from AIX base openssl v3.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Team,

    We have done this tasks ( DNF installation and update ) inorder to fix an LDAP login issue on AIX 7.3 servers along with the efix  IJ46727s2a.230509.AIX73TL01SP02.epkg.Z .

    Can we do the same - ( DNF installation and update ) - on our AIX 7.2 servers as well?  Is that ok and recommended. Or will have any issues ? 

    Please let me know.

    Thanks

    Shahir

    Yes. Ideally you should not see any issues. If you hit issues then feel free to post.
