Hi, 

Does someone already met this issue on AIX when tried to rebuildb, (with command below)

root#rpm --rebuilddb
cp: /bin/bash_64: No such file or directory
rpm_share: 0645-007 ATTENTION: update_file() returned an unexpected result.
rpm_share: 0645-007 ATTENTION: update_inst_root() returned an unexpected result.
 

Thanks,

These are minor issues and rebuilddb would have already done its job.

Hi,

thanks you, 

I found also that i received same error too when i installed bash rpm on private wpar AIX ( has /usr private, and i have not this error on lpar AIX), 

root@XXXX:/# rpm -hiv /mnt/RPMS/aix/bash-4.4-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm /mnt/RPMS/aix/bash-doc-4.3.30-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm

        The default used is 64bit

        If 32bit is needed, please change symbolic link
        for "bash" in /bin directory
        To do that type:
                # rm -f /bin/bash

Yes, i note that it cannot create link  on /bin/bash, but not understand why ? (it can create other link on this folder) and  i can create  it after  manually.

root@xxxx:/root# ls -al /bin/bash*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     system            7 Feb  7 15:55 /bin/bash@ -> bash_64*
 

but if i execute command rpm --rebuilddb, new link manually created before is removed.

If i try to use verbose mode of bash installation, but not really help  : 

+ echo /opt/freeware/bin/bash
+ 1>> /etc/shells
+ grep -q ^/opt/freeware/bin/bash_64$ /etc/shells
+ echo /opt/freeware/bin/bash_64

Hi, 

thanks you for reply, 

I checked on AIX wpar and found already this APAR : 

root@:/mnt/RPMS/aix# instfix -ik IJ05306
    All filesets for IJ05306 were found.
 

I supposed you can easily reproduce this problem if you can install bash on a private wpar 7.1.

I couldn't able to recreate the problem in AIX 7.1 private wpar.

(By private wpar, i guess you are mentioning about the writable /usr/ &/opt filesystem. "mkwpar -l" option).

My testing

========

mkwpar -ln mywpar

startwpar -v mywpar

clogin mywpar -l root

# /usr/bin/rpm -ivh bash-4.4-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     system            7 Feb 13 05:32 /bin/bash -> bash_64
 

I think you can contact AIX regular support for this issue because the failure happens inside a script that is shipped with AIX Base.
