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

Subject: logrotation install on AIX 7.2.5.7
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.
