  • 1.  Issues with "yum repolist" command.

    Posted Mon March 14, 2022 11:57 AM
    When I tried to install yum package from yum_bundle_v5.tar and when it finished, the following messages appear when try to run "yum repolist"

    # yum repolist
    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 /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.a(libglib-2.0.so.0).
    0509-150 Dependent module /usr/lib/libiconv.a(libiconv.so.2) could not be loaded.
    0509-152 Member libiconv.so.2 is not found in archive
    0509-022 Cannot load module /opt/freeware/lib/python2.7/site-packages/_sqlitecache.so.
    0509-150 Dependent module /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.a(libglib-2.0.so.0) could not be loaded.

    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:
    2.7.10 (default, Jun 22 2016, 05:57:59) [C]

    If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
    the yum faq at:

    Couple of things.
    1. You are using older version of yum_bundle always use https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/ezinstall/ppc/yum_bundle.tar which is latest.
    2. Is any LIBPATH set ?

    As an workaround can you try running yum with this LIBPATH "LIBPATH=/opt/freeware/lib:/usr/lib yum repolist"
    It seems you also have openssl rpm which might create other issues.
    You can remove the openssl rpm package ?

    To install the last version of yum_bundle.tar I need to uninstall old rpm packages or I can run "rpm -Uvh *.rpm"

    I think you should be able to update using "rpm -Uvh *.rpm"
