  • 1.  logrotation install on AIX 7.2.5.7

    Posted 02/09/24 11:20 AM

    I'm new and was looking for some help in installing logroation to my AIX 7.2 sp5 tl7 system.  it states that it had a dependence failure for popt 1.18 but when looking at the system:
    # rpm -q popt-1.18-1.src.rpm
    popt-1.18-1.ppc
    it appears to be there so tried to install again:
    #  rpm -Uhv  logrotate-3.20.1-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm
    error: Failed dependencies:
            popt >= 1.18 is needed by logrotate-3.20.1-1.ppc

    Any help appreciated.

    Hello, Marshael

    popt-1.18-1.src.rpm is the source package, not the binary package.

    Perhaps your popt-1.18-1.ppc is from some other vendor?

    # rpm -qi  popt-1.18-1.ppc | grep "Build Host"

    Build Host  : pokndd10.pok.stglabs.ibm.com

    # rpm -qa popt

    popt-1.18-1.ppc
    Checking package....

    # rpm -Va popt-1.18-1.ppc

    (no errors)

    You could reinstall this package

     # rpm -ivh  --force  popt-1.18-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
