  • 1.  Error when running ./dnf_aixtoolbox.sh -d

    Posted Mon October 07, 2024 08:09 PM

    After AIX upgrade, some of the application perl scripts were not running, so i decide to follow below steps to get this fixed. 

    > tar -cvf freeware.backup.tar freeware

    >./remove_rpm.sh

    >installp -qaXFY -d . rpm.rte

    # lslpp -l |grep -i rpm.rte
      rpm.rte                4.15.1.2011  COMMITTED  RPM Package Manager
      rpm.rte                4.15.1.2011  COMMITTED  RPM Package Manager

    And when i run the below command, I am getting the error. 

    # ./dnf_aixtoolbox.sh -d
    Attempting download of dnf_bundle_aix_73.tar ...
    lwp-download: 501 Protocol scheme 'https' is not supported (LWP::Protocol::https not installed)
    Failed to download dnf_bundle_aix_73.tar

    Appreciate any help. 

    Thanks,

    Ak

    Hi,

    "

    # lslpp -l |grep -i rpm.rte
      rpm.rte                4.15.1.2011  COMMITTED  RPM Package Manager
      rpm.rte                4.15.1.2011  COMMITTED  RPM Package Manager

    And when i run the below command, I am getting the error.

    "

    >> Did you upgrade to AIX72 or to AIX73 ?

    If to AIX7.3 , U have wrong rpm.rte, for AIX7.3 it is  4.18.x.x

    I would recommend fetching correct DNF bundle from here:

    https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/ezinstall/ppc/

    dnf_bundle_aix_71_72_v7.tar 

    (if you are on AIX72)

    or 

    dnf_bundle_aix_73_v12.tar

    (if you are on AIX73)

    First make backup of /opt/freeware/etc/dnf/dnf.conf
    Then uninstall all of "DNF related" packages including their dependencies using rpm (rpm -ehv pkg1 pkg2 ...).
    Then Install DNF back from DNF bundle with ./install_dnf.sh -y  and put dnf.conf back

    What is the level of your  openssl.base fileset? If it is down level, you may need to update it to a more recent, supported level.

    Thank you Tommi and Chris for your response. I really appreciate it. 

    I downloaded the dnf tool kit ISO which was about 6.6G and created a local repo and mounted it and have re-installed rpm.rte and all the other required packages.
