It looks like there is a need to upgrade jaraco.functools.
In the mean time can you do,
python3.9 -m pip install --no-cache-dir --upgrade jaraco.functools
And then try dnf update?
This will work.
# python3
Python 3.9.22 (main, May 5 2025, 07:00:37)
[GCC 10.3.0] on aix
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from jaraco.functools import splat
>>>
We will take care of this issue .

Hi,
Can you tell me what version of Jaraco you have?
# rpm -qa | grep jaraco
What is the output of the above command?

I already have the LIBPATH unset, but it still complaining about /opt/freeware/lib/python3.9/site-packages/setuptools/_distutils
Can someone please help me on this?
