PROBLEM:

# rpm2cpio host-power-tools-4.3.2-aix-7.1-powerpc.rpm | /opt/freeware/bin/cpio -idmv

exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /opt/freeware/bin/cpio because of the following errors:
        0509-150   Dependent module /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a(libintl.so.8) could not be loaded.
        0509-152   Member libintl.so.8 is not found in archive
 

ANALYSIS:

# ar -X32_64 -tv  /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a.gettext | grep libin
rwxr-xr-x   203/1     114582 Jan 04 14:38 2008 libintl.so.1
rwxr-xr-x   203/1     130986 Jan 04 14:40 2008 libintl.so.1

 

This is the libintl.a from rpm.rte:

# ar -X32_64 -tv   /usr/opt/rpm/lib/libintl.a
rwxr-xr-x     0/0      86741 Jun 02 08:56 2016 libintl.so.8
rwxr-xr-x     0/0      94425 Jun 02 08:50 2016 libintl.so.8
rwxr-xr-x     0/0     114582 Apr 06 13:53 2017 libintl.so.1
rwxr-xr-x     0/0     130986 Apr 06 13:53 2017 libintl.so.1

 

# rpm -q --whatprovides  /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a
gettext-0.19.8.1-1.ppc (current Toolbox version)
 

TEMPORARY WORKAROUND:

 

First I tried the rpm.rte LIBPATH

# export LIBPATH=/usr/opt/rpm/lib/:$LIBPATH

 

This did not work , so next I temporarily move the gettext libintl.a out of the way

# mv  /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a  /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a.gettext

# ln -sf  /usr/opt/rpm/lib/libintl.a  /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a

 

Now tried the cpio command:

# rpm2cpio host-power-tools-4.3.2-aix-7.1-powerpc.rpm | /opt/freeware/bin/cpio -idmv

This runs OK now

 

Now restore the gettext libintl.a

# unlink  /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a
# mv  /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a.gettext  /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a
 

Is this expected behavior?  I would expect this to cause problems for many packages.  Please advise!

This is not the expected behavior.

This occurs only in a specific scenario where the gettext - 0.19.7-1 rpm was installed when rpm.rte 3.0.5 was there in the machine. And later the rpm.rte is upgraded and gettext rpm is also updated. 

gettext-0.19.7-1 rpm in AIX Toolbox has a post-uninstall script which takes backup of the older libintl.a (from rpm.rte 3.0.5 which only has libintl.so.1) and during gettext upgrade, (say to gettext 0.19.8.1-1 ), the post-uninstall script of gettext-0.19.7-1 will run at the end which reverts back the saved libintl.a which creates this issue.

We fixed this in later gettext 0.19.8.1-2 release where we remove the backed-up libintl.a , so there is no way it can replace the latest libintl.a file.

(I just updated it to add that, if the error occurs for the rpm command, that is a different issue - so reinstall rpm.rte to latest 4.)

Below link is not working, please help.

I'm having the same issue while trying to run "dnf update" after running the "dnf_aixtoolbox.sh" script to configure dnf on aix server.
