Need Assistance installing GIT on AIX 7.2

  • 1.  Need Assistance installing GIT on AIX 7.2

    Posted Mon October 10, 2022 12:03 PM
    I'm attempting to install the GIT tuility using DNF on AIX 7.2 TL05/SP3. I was able to update OpenSSL and OpenSSH to the latest version, run updtvpkg, and install dnf using the IBM provided script, dnf_aixtoolbox.sh. However, I now receive the following when attempting to run dnf install or dnf update:

    You have enabled checking of packages via GPG keys. This is a good thing.
    However, you do not have any GPG public keys installed. You need to download
    the keys for packages you wish to install and install them.
    You can do that by running the command:
    rpm --import public.gpg.key
    Alternatively you can specify the url to the key you would like to use
    for a repository in the 'gpgkey' option in a repository section and DNF
    will install it for you.
    For more information contact your distribution or package provider.

    When I run rpm --import public.gpg.key, I receive the following output:

    error: public.gpg.key: import read failed(2).

    Please advise. Thanks!

    Hi Rich,

    IBM RPM packages are not signed (btw why? @SANKET RATHI). You must switch off GPG checking in your repo files. Find the file /opt/freeware/etc/dnf/dnf.conf and change gpgcheck to 0 everywhere where you can find it:

    gpgcheck=0

    Then try installing git again.

    Historically it was not signed and people are using that way. 
    We discussed sometime to start signing but then there will be some user impact on repo usage, mixture of signed/non signed packages etc
    We are busy with other things and need to plan this correctly, will look at this in future.

    Thanks, Sanket.  Interestingly, after installing the git utility and pre-requites, I'm now seeing the following behaviors:

    =) pip list
    DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 reached the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 is no longer maintained. pip 21.0 will drop support for Python 2.7 in January 2021. More details about Python 2 support in pip can be found at https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/development/release-process/#python-2-support pip 21.0 will remove support for this functionality.

    Hi Richard,

    you have three different python installations. Do you need all of them?

    If you just want to have requests module for python3, try

    yum install python3-requests

    Best regards
    Andrey

    Thanks again, Andrey.  I was able to successfully install python3-requests.  However, now whenever I run either yum or dnf commands, this happens:

    dnf clean all

    Hi Rich,

    You have LIBPATH set to /usr/lib first ?
    Please try dnf without any LIBPATH.

    Hi Sangamesh,

    I've clear the LIBPATH environment variable.  Now this happens:

    =) unset LIBPATH

    =) echo $LIBPATH


    =) dnf clean all
    IOT/Abort trap(coredump)

    This is strange. This should not happen and never happened before.
    We would like more information. 
    1. Output of "rpm -qa"
    2. core file
    3. AIX level

    Hello Sanket,

    I've attached the output for rpm -qa as well as a tarball containing the core file that dnf throws.  The server in question is running AIX 7200-05-03-2148.  Thanks!

    Hi Rich,

    Please update python3-3.7.9-0 to latest one python3-3.7.12.
    Not sure why you have installed the one from dnf bundle after all the packages are update to latest version.
