    The gettext version 0.10.40 is very old. It provides libintl.so.1 and not libintl.so.8. Update it and check.

    Hi, 
    Below gettext is not from aix tools box. Should I remove it? How to install it after remove? Will it ask dependencies again if we remove and install the new gettext from aix tools box?

    # rpm -qi gettext-0.10.40-6.ppc
    Name : gettext
    Version : 0.10.40
    Release : 6
    Architecture: ppc
    Install Date: Fri Sep 18 13:39:33 2020
    Group : Gnome2/Tools
    Size : 2509359
    License : GPL/LGPL
    Signature : (none)
    Source RPM : gettext-0.10.40-6.src.rpm
    Build Date : Fri Dec 23 06:47:55 2005
    Build Host : fermi.frec.bull.fr
    URL : http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/
    Summary : GNU libraries and utilities for producing multi-lingual messages.
    Description :
    The GNU gettext package provides a set of tools and documentation for
    producing multi-lingual messages in programs. Tools include a set of
    conventions about how programs should be written to support message
    catalogs, a directory and file naming organization for the message
    catalogs, a runtime library which supports the retrieval of translated
    messages, and stand-alone programs for handling the translatable and
    the already translated strings. Gettext provides an easy to use
    library and tools for creating, using, and modifying natural language
    catalogs and is a powerful and simple method for internationalizing
    programs.

    Please let me know. Also let me know if any other ways to fix this.

    Thanks,

    As you probably know, mixing non-Toolbox packages with AIX packages will cause problems.

    I re-created the dnf errors, by installing perzl gettext-0.10.40-6.aix5.1.ppc.rpm

    Perzl symlinks libintl.a in /usr/lib 
    /usr/lib/libintl.a -> ../../opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a

    AIX rpm.rte symlinks libpopt.a
    /usr/lib/libpopt.a -> /usr/opt/rpm/lib/libpopt.a

    Then I did the following to workaround:

    I needed to get perzl's out of my path.
    (I assume bull creates the same symlink)

    # unlink /usr/lib/libintl.a

    Then I needed to move their libintl.a since something still found this while loading...
    # mv /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a.save

    Then, I used the /usr/lib LIBPATH first:
    # export LIBPATH=/usr/lib:$LIBPATH

    Then I could run dnf update
