    Hi Team,

    I am getting error during DNF update on AIX 7.3. Can you please check and suggest. 

    command: dnf update

    Hi

    initial troubleshooting steps

    • Run dnf clean all to remove corrupted or stale cached data.
    • Run dnf makecache to rebuild the cache.

    Run the update again:

    After cleaning the cache, try dnf update again.
