#AIXOpenSource

Hi Wolfgang

This problem happens when we do dnf update without updating rpm.rte to the latest one.

The required packages aren't in sync.

Here libcomps has been updated to python3-libcomps-0.1.15-101 but failed to update python3-3.9.16-2.ppc.

python3-libcomps-0.1.15-101 isn't compatible with python3-3.7.x.

Hence it's necessary to update both python3.9 and python3-libcomps.

To workaround current situation one option would be to remove some of the DNF specific packages.

rpm -e libcomps python3.9-libcomps python3-libcomps python3-dnf dnf dnf-automatic dnf-data libdnf python3-hawkey python3-libdnf

And run dnf_aixtoolbox.sh script which should take care of updating to latest rpm.rte and installing required packages and then do the "dnf update".

This issue has been already discussed in https://community.ibm.com/community/user/power/discussion/migrating-to-python39-for-aix-toolbox-python3-ecosystem?ReturnUrl=%2fcommunity%2fuser%2fpower%2fcommunities%2fcommunity-home%2fdigestviewer%3fListKey%3daf5415f8-d8d8-4ac4-b3cb-08a8da184054

Hello Sangamesh,

thank you for your support.

I deinstallt 

rpm -e libcomps python3.9-libcomps python3-libcomps python3-dnf dnf dnf-automatic dnf-data libdnf python3-libdnf python3-dnf-plugins-core python3-dnf-plugin-migrate python3-hawkey
rpm -e python3-gpg-1.13.1-100.ppc
rpm -e python3.9-3.9.16-2.ppc

I installed python3.9 via smitty  https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/python3.9/

after that I cut install dnf again ./install_dnf.sh -y

Now I found out , for me to do the update on all AIX system:

1.    dnf install python3.9

2.    smitty update rpm.rte          4.15.1.1011    https://www.ibm.com/resources/mrs/assets/DownloadList?source=aixbp&lang=en_US

3.    dnf update

best regards, Wolfgang
