We update rpm.rte to rpm.rte.4.15.1.2009

ran updtvpkg

then ran dnf update. 

the updates all appeared to work without issue but now when i try to run dnf i am getting the following:

[root@aixsbx1][/]dnf
Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi Ken,

Can you run "/opt/freeware/bin/dnf" and check ?

Now we aren't shipping /usr/bin/dnf and i don't know if it was created manually.

If this was present with previous install of dnf and then update will remove it automatically. 

But if somehow it was copied manually then it will still be present.

Since /usr/bin/dnf i guess was mostly based python3-3.7.x and after DNF update it will be  based on python3.9.

Hence the /usr/bin/dnf command won't find anything and your PATH is set to /usr/bin first than the /opt/freeware/bin

Hi Ken,

Can you run "/opt/freeware/bin/dnf" and check ?

Now we aren't shipping /usr/bin/dnf and i don't know if it was created manually.

If this was present with previous install of dnf and then update will remove it automatically. 

But if somehow it was copied manually then it will still be present.

Since /usr/bin/dnf i guess was mostly based python3-3.7.x and after DNF update it will be  based on python3.9.

Hence the /usr/bin/dnf command won't find anything and your PATH is set to /usr/bin first than the /opt/freeware/bin

Hi Ken,

Looks like somehow the update didn't happen correctly.

I don't see any of the python3.9 DNF packages but python3.9 in the list you provided.

Not sure if you had anything in the versionlock plugin which caused this issue. 

One option is to try these steps.

rpm -e libcomps python3.9-libcomps python3-libcomps python3-dnf dnf dnf-automatic dnf-data libdnf python3-hawkey python3-libdnf librepo python3-librepo python3.9-librepo python3-dnf-plugins-core python3-dnf-plugin-versionlock dnf-plugins-core

run the dnf_aixtoolbox.sh script and run "dnf update"

Hi Ken,

Please provide the output of .

rpm -qa 

rpm -Va

head /opt/freeware/bin/dnf

/opt/freeware/bin/python3.9 -c 'import dnf'

ls -l /opt/freeware/bin/python*

Thank you for the reply.

/usr/bin/dnf is a symlink that was created as part of our previous dnf install/upgrades.

Here is what i see when running /opt/freeware/bin/dnf

Hi Ken,

Can you run "/opt/freeware/bin/dnf" and check ?

Now we aren't shipping /usr/bin/dnf and i don't know if it was created manually.

If this was present with previous install of dnf and then update will remove it automatically. 

But if somehow it was copied manually then it will still be present.

Since /usr/bin/dnf i guess was mostly based python3-3.7.x and after DNF update it will be  based on python3.9.

Hence the /usr/bin/dnf command won't find anything and your PATH is set to /usr/bin first than the /opt/freeware/bin

We update rpm.rte to rpm.rte.4.15.1.2009

ran updtvpkg

then ran dnf update. 

the updates all appeared to work without issue but now when i try to run dnf i am getting the following:

Hi Ken,

Looks like somehow the update didn't happen correctly.

I don't see any of the python3.9 DNF packages but python3.9 in the list you provided.

Not sure if you had anything in the versionlock plugin which caused this issue. 

One option is to try these steps.

rpm -e libcomps python3.9-libcomps python3-libcomps python3-dnf dnf dnf-automatic dnf-data libdnf python3-hawkey python3-libdnf librepo python3-librepo python3.9-librepo python3-dnf-plugins-core python3-dnf-plugin-versionlock dnf-plugins-core

run the dnf_aixtoolbox.sh script and run "dnf update"

Hi Ken,

Please provide the output of .

rpm -qa 

rpm -Va

head /opt/freeware/bin/dnf

/opt/freeware/bin/python3.9 -c 'import dnf'

ls -l /opt/freeware/bin/python*

Thank you for the reply.

/usr/bin/dnf is a symlink that was created as part of our previous dnf install/upgrades.

Here is what i see when running /opt/freeware/bin/dnf

Hi Ken,

Can you run "/opt/freeware/bin/dnf" and check ?

Now we aren't shipping /usr/bin/dnf and i don't know if it was created manually.

If this was present with previous install of dnf and then update will remove it automatically. 

But if somehow it was copied manually then it will still be present.

Since /usr/bin/dnf i guess was mostly based python3-3.7.x and after DNF update it will be  based on python3.9.

Hence the /usr/bin/dnf command won't find anything and your PATH is set to /usr/bin first than the /opt/freeware/bin

We update rpm.rte to rpm.rte.4.15.1.2009

ran updtvpkg

then ran dnf update. 

the updates all appeared to work without issue but now when i try to run dnf i am getting the following:

[root@aixsbx1][/]dnf
Traceback (most recent call last):

Cleaning up the files and rerunning the install using the dnf_aixtoolbox.sh got dnf working again.  

Thanks again for all the help.

Hi Ken,

Looks like somehow the update didn't happen correctly.

I don't see any of the python3.9 DNF packages but python3.9 in the list you provided.

Not sure if you had anything in the versionlock plugin which caused this issue. 

One option is to try these steps.

rpm -e libcomps python3.9-libcomps python3-libcomps python3-dnf dnf dnf-automatic dnf-data libdnf python3-hawkey python3-libdnf librepo python3-librepo python3.9-librepo python3-dnf-plugins-core python3-dnf-plugin-versionlock dnf-plugins-core

run the dnf_aixtoolbox.sh script and run "dnf update"

Hi Ken,

Please provide the output of .

rpm -qa 

rpm -Va

head /opt/freeware/bin/dnf

/opt/freeware/bin/python3.9 -c 'import dnf'

ls -l /opt/freeware/bin/python*

Thank you for the reply.

/usr/bin/dnf is a symlink that was created as part of our previous dnf install/upgrades.

Here is what i see when running /opt/freeware/bin/dnf

[root@aixsbx1][/]/opt/freeware/bin/dnf
Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi Ken,

Can you run "/opt/freeware/bin/dnf" and check ?

Now we aren't shipping /usr/bin/dnf and i don't know if it was created manually.

If this was present with previous install of dnf and then update will remove it automatically. 

But if somehow it was copied manually then it will still be present.

Since /usr/bin/dnf i guess was mostly based python3-3.7.x and after DNF update it will be  based on python3.9.

Hence the /usr/bin/dnf command won't find anything and your PATH is set to /usr/bin first than the /opt/freeware/bin

Subject: DNF stopped working after updating the rpm.rte and running dnf update.

We update rpm.rte to rpm.rte.4.15.1.2009

ran updtvpkg

then ran dnf update. 

the updates all appeared to work without issue but now when i try to run dnf i am getting the following:

[root@aixsbx1][/]dnf
Traceback (most recent call last):
