  • 1.  Error running YUM updater

    Posted 03/29/22 05:20 PM
    We are running this version of rpm.rte,

    />lslpp -L rpm.rte
    Fileset Level State Type Description (Uninstaller)
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    rpm.rte 4.15.1.3 C F RPM Package Manager

    Getting these errors when trying to update packages using yum,

    />yum install gettext
    There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
    required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

    0509-022 Cannot load module /opt/freeware/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rpm/_rpm.so.
    0509-026 System error: Cannot run a file that does not have a valid format.

    Please install a package which provides this module, or
    verify that the module is installed correctly.

    It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
    current version of Python, which is:
    2.7.12 (default, Feb 20 2017, 03:32:43) [C]

    If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
    the yum faq at:
    http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq

    No sure how to go about resolving this issue.

    Can you please provide little history if yum was working ever and this problem started coming due to some update ? 
    Looks like /opt/freeware/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rpm/_rpm.so is corrupted.
    Can you check with lppchk if rpm.rte fileset is intact and file provided by that are not corrupted.

    @SANKET RATHI So, I've taken over administration of these server from previous administrators and I can't say if there has been an issue in the past however the server was upgraded to 7.2. TL5 back in November last year and I would have to say maybe that might have contributed to this issue.

    Here is my lppchk output,

    />lslpp -L rpm.rte
    Fileset Level State Type Description (Uninstaller)
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    rpm.rte 4.15.1.3 C F RPM Package Manager


    State codes:
    A -- Applied.
    B -- Broken.
    C -- Committed.
    E -- EFIX Locked.
    O -- Obsolete. (partially migrated to newer version)
    ? -- Inconsistent State...Run lppchk -v.

    Type codes:
    F -- Installp Fileset
    P -- Product
    C -- Component
    T -- Feature
    R -- RPM Package
    E -- Interim Fix

    @SANKET RATHI Sorry, I ran lppchk -v and -c on rpm.rte and there was no output from these checks.​

    Can you please check what is  /opt/freeware/bin/python2 is pointing to ?
    I guess this is point to 64-bit python instead of 32 version.
    YUM uses default 32-bit python /opt/freeware/bin/python2.

    @SANGAMESH MALLAYYA It looks like python is pointed to the 64-bit version but python is pointed to python2.7

    Hi Steve,

    Looks like python soft link is correct but python2.7 binary size it shows is zero.
    Please check if your python2 installation is fine with "rpm -V"
    Also try import yum with python2 to findout more about the issue.
