    Hi Ram,

          Looks like gettext package is not installed in your system from AIX Toolbox.

          Please follow these steps:

          1)  export PATH=/opt/freeware/bin:$PATH
          2)  download the gettext package from AIX Toolbox. 
               (wget https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/gettext/gettext-0.21-2.aix7.1.ppc.rpm)
          3)  install this package through rpm. (rpm -ivh gettext-0.21-2.aix7.1.ppc.rpm)
          4)  run "dnf update" command.
             

    Thanks,

    Hi Ram,

         Please share the output of below commands,
         1)  rpm -qa | sort
         2)  echo $PATH
         3)  echo $LIBPATH
     
         Could you please unset the LIBPATH if its sets, and try "dnf update".

    Thanks,
