Library dependency issue when installing Python v3.9.6

    Hello IBM Experts,

    We are trying to install Python v3.9.6 (in package format) on AIX 7.1. We have tried the following dnf commands and got dependencies not met errors. We have downloaded all mentioned packages from AIXToolbox site. Our server doesn't have internet connection. Please help.

    Thanks
