Hi Mario:
I looked at your suggestions and all the part are in place. I then played a hunch. The environment variable of LIBPATH wasn't set so I set it to LIBPATH=/usr/lib:/opt/freeware/lib:/opt/freeware/lib64:/opt/freeware/64/lib which is all the directories on the system that have libcrypto in them. Then tried the dnf update command again. Result below.

Nothing to do.
Complete!

Setting the LIBPATH worked. Now sadly I believe I have to get our firewall gang to allow this traffic. Nothing is easy. However, a big thanks for getting my memory molecules in order.

Hi Dave,
Where's libcrypto? Does the .a file exist? If so, use 'ar' to look inside the archive. Does so.1.0.2 exist?
Maybe you just need to apply a fixpack to your AIX install?
