Hello!

LMGTFY: https://community.ibm.com/community/user/discussion/regarding-clamav-and-cryptography-updates

"If one encounters the issue  "requires libunwind.a(libunwind.so.1)" while installing the rpms , one needs to install libunwind.rte and run the updtvpkg command.

And then try to install these RPMs. Users can get the runtime libraries from the below URL: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/fix-list-xl-cc-runtime-aix The latest version at the time of writing is IBM_OPEN_XL_CPP_RUNTIME_17.1.1.8_AIX.tar.Z Users can extract the above tar file and need only libc++.rte, libc++abi.rte and libunwind.rte filesets to be installed."

HTH,
