Hi,

We just did an OS upgrade to AIX 7.2 SP2.  Following that, we did a updtvpkg and then ran dnf update.  During the update, we saw this:

Running scriptlet: dnf-automatic-4.2.17-64_3.noarch 59/86
error: %preun(dnf-automatic-4.2.17-64_3.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

Error in PREUN scriptlet in rpm package dnf-automatic

Cleanup : python3-dnf-4.2.17-64_3.noarch 61/86
error: dnf-4.2.17-64_3.noarch: erase failed

Now we get this with a dnf check:

[root@crilnim1 ~]# dnf check
dnf-4.2.17-64_3.noarch has missing requires of python3-dnf = 4.2.17-64_3

dnf-automatic-4.2.17-64_3.noarch is a duplicate with dnf-automatic-4.2.17-64_51.ppc
Error: Check discovered 3 problem(s)

Also, this:

[root@crilnim1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i dnf
dnf-automatic-4.2.17-64_3.noarch
python3-libdnf-0.39.1-64_50.ppc

libdnf-0.39.1-64_50.ppc
python3-dnf-4.2.17-64_51.ppc
dnf-automatic-4.2.17-64_51.ppc

It kind of looks like a "noarch" package was to be replaced with a "ppc" package but it got all messed up.  See this for example:

[root@crilnim1 ~]# rpm -ql dnf-automatic-4.2.17-64_3.noarch

/opt/freeware/lib/python3.7/site-packages/dnf/automatic/emitter.py
/opt/freeware/lib/python3.7/site-packages/dnf/automatic/main.py

...which is almost for sure not okay.  Please tell me how to properly fix this.  I have 6 new AIX 7.3 LPARs I'd like to soon put in production but I don't want to push out broken stuff.  Thanks.

Hi Michael,

The dnf packages with errors you are seeing are for AIX 7.3.
Is this a migration from AIX 7.1/7.2 to AIX 7.3 or it's an upgrade to AIX 7.2 ?

Hi Sangamesh,

These are AIX 7.3 LPARs that had a clean install of dnf and the repos when we first built them about 2 months ago. There’s not migration here. We just applied a service pack to take it from 7300-00-01-2148 to 7300-00-02-2220. The service pack installed w/o errors. lppchk was run with no errors. updtvpkg was run with no errors.

Then, we ran dnf update and got the things you see in my post. To be clear, these are existing AIX 7.3 systems with dnf running on them having been installed when they were recently built. We did not use the dnf script.

We really want to fix this:

[root@crilnim1 ~]# dnf check
dnf-4.2.17-64_3.noarch has missing requires of python3-dnf = 4.2.17-64_3
dnf-4.2.17-64_3.noarch is a duplicate with dnf-4.2.17-64_51.ppc
dnf-automatic-4.2.17-64_3.noarch is a duplicate with dnf-automatic-4.2.17-64_51.ppc
Error: Check discovered 3 problem(s)




Please advise.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Michael,

Actually we don't run any pre uinstall script in dnf and dnf-automatic which could fail.

# rpm -qp --scripts dnf-automatic-4.2.17-64_4.aix7.1.noarch.rpm
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):

So, you had the rpm packages from bundled installed manually without using dnf script ?
I am not sure how AIX update would cause this error.
Will check more on this and let you know.

Hi Sangamesh,

Okay. One more time:

1) we built AIX 7.3 LPARs

2) we installed dnf using the script

3) we ran dnf update

4) 2 months later we installed AIX 7.3 SP2

5) we ran updtvpkg

6) we ran dnf update

Now it’s messed up. We *did not* run any rpm installs or scripts separately. Don’t you want to focus on the fact that you have 2 sets of 2 packages with the same names more or less but one set is PPC and one is NOARCH and now it’s reported that there’s a conflict because they are duplicates?

Hi Michael,

Actually we don't run any pre uinstall script in dnf and dnf-automatic which could fail.

# rpm -qp --scripts dnf-automatic-4.2.17-64_4.aix7.1.noarch.rpm
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
#%systemd_post dnf-automatic.timer
#%systemd_post dnf-automatic-notifyonly.timer
#%systemd_post dnf-automatic-download.timer
#%systemd_post dnf-automatic-install.timer
preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
#%systemd_preun dnf-automatic.timer
#%systemd_preun dnf-automatic-notifyonly.timer
#%systemd_preun dnf-automatic-download.timer
#%systemd_preun dnf-automatic-install.timer
postuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
#%systemd_postun_with_restart dnf-automatic.timer
#%systemd_postun_with_restart dnf-automatic-notifyonly.timer
#%systemd_postun_with_restart dnf-automatic-download.timer
#%systemd_postun_with_restart dnf-automatic-install.timer

# rpm -qp --scripts dnf-4.2.17-64_4.aix7.1.noarch.rpm
preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
#%systemd_preun dnf-makecache.timer
postuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
#%systemd_postun_with_restart dnf-makecache.timer

So, you had the rpm packages from bundled installed manually without using dnf script ?
I am not sure how AIX update would cause this error.
Will check more on this and let you know.

Hi Sangamesh,

These are AIX 7.3 LPARs that had a clean install of dnf and the repos when we first built them about 2 months ago. There's not migration here. We just applied a service pack to take it from 7300-00-01-2148 to 7300-00-02-2220. The service pack installed w/o errors. lppchk was run with no errors. updtvpkg was run with no errors.

Then, we ran dnf update and got the things you see in my post. To be clear, these are existing AIX 7.3 systems with dnf running on them having been installed when they were recently built. We did not use the dnf script.

We really want to fix this:

[root@crilnim1 ~]# dnf check
dnf-4.2.17-64_3.noarch has missing requires of python3-dnf = 4.2.17-64_3
dnf-4.2.17-64_3.noarch is a duplicate with dnf-4.2.17-64_51.ppc
dnf-automatic-4.2.17-64_3.noarch is a duplicate with dnf-automatic-4.2.17-64_51.ppc
Error: Check discovered 3 problem(s)




Please advise.

Thanks,
Mike
