Hi Manoj,
in this case, removing dnf and python manually is enough to solve the problem.
Choice is yours.

Thanks Jan.
I always follow these steps. I will try those steps. Just wanted to check whether it can be fixed without removing all packages.

Thanks Jan and Anress.
Which method should we use to remove the packages? Through destroy rpm tool or manually as mentioned by Anress? dnf update also is not working in my case.

Hi Jan,
it didn't work. We are already at 7200-05-06-2320, and found problems trying to update open source packages from the toolbox.
I tried right now on another system in order to copy here the results:

Another reason for failure could be mixing of Toolbox packages and packages from other sources.
You can try installing the downloaded dnf packages from /tmp/dnf-20231122190010 manually.

Hi Andres - did you try to run the dnf install script before you did the uninstall? I'm curious because I have recommended this to a few customers that had not updated DNF before they updated AIX TL. It seems to fix their issues (the issue being their old python 3.7 had failures due to some missing libraries since newer rpm.rte has removed nss, nspr and db)

Hi Manoj,
we got the same errors and the only solution we found was to remove dnf and python, then reinstall dnf via dnf_aixtoolbox.sh.
Afterwards dnf update ran clean.
