Hi, I'm getting failed dependency errors when I run YUM update.  It's strange because I think this particular system is AIX_Toolbox so I'm not sure how things got out of sync.  Specifically, it looks like postgres wants and update that deadends with tcl/tk.  Please see below.  Also, when I run the recommended rpm -Va I get another strange dependency error.  Please help me out.  Thanks.

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

bash-4.4# rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Hi , We noticed and fixed this issue which is with tcl rpm. We will upload  fixed version of tcl soon.,

Great.  Thanks.  I also noticed iconv is in AIX_Tools now and postgres seems to precipitate it's install on one of our systems.  Doesn't that conflict with the native iconv?  Also, I've forgotten the command to re-sync the rpm library with any changes that might have occurred in the installp packages.  Do you have that handy or better yet a FAQ containing things like that you can point to?  Thanks again!   ...specifically I'm thinking of the iconv and also the fact that my `rpm -Va` command (above) does not come back clean.  I'd like to fix that.

The libiconv rpm won't conflict with the native iconv. And "updtvpkg" is the command which you seek.

And about the "rpm -Va" issue, run it again after updtvpkg and check.

If it is still showing the issue, paste the output of below commands.

rpm -qa 

lslpp -l rpm.rte

Seems like the packages shown in the Unsatisfied dependencies are forcefully removed from the system.

It's always better to install them back.

ok.  I installed them all and now I'm left with this:

...is this normal or are there other fixes I should undertake?  thanks.

This is not a ideal situation but it won't create any issues.
