rpm --version       RPM version 3.0.5

I've followed the AIX toolbox README and downloaded wget and the getbase.sh commands.

In my ezinstall/ppc/base folder I have:

bzip2-1.0.5-3.aix5.3.ppc.rpm
gettext-0.10.40-8.aix5.2.ppc.rpm
gzip-1.2.4a-10.aix5.2.ppc.rpm
info-4.6-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
patch-2.5.4-4.aix4.3.ppc.rpm
popt-1.16-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
rpm-4.9.1.3-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
rpm-build-3.0.5-52.aix5.3.ppc.rpm
rpm-devel-4.9.1.3-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
tar-1.22-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
unzip-5.51-2.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
zip-2.3-3.aix4.3.ppc.rpm

When I run the rpm -Uvh ezinstall/base/* I get an error.

error: failed dependencies:
        bash   is needed by info-4.6-1
        db <= 4.8.24 is needed by rpm-4.9.1.3-3

        libnss3.so is needed by rpm-devel-4.9.1.3-3

So now I'm confused. Where are these dependencies? I thought the getbase.sh process downloaded all the required rpms for this to work? I'm pretty sure I didn't hit this issue when I installed the AIX toolbox a few years ago,

Thanks

Hi Robin,

Thanks for reporting this error.

Due to some packages update, mainly rpm package, their has been some extra dependencies are being added.

Newer version of rpm requires extra dependencies than the one we listed it in getbase.sh script.

We will soon update getbase.sh script to meet all the required dependency.

Hello,

Any update on when getbase.sh will be updated to meet the required dependancy?

Thanks

Hi,

Sorry for the delay.

getbase.sh has been updated now to get the latest version of packages and it's dependencies.

Thanks,
