Hi Ram,
ImportError: 0509-022 Cannot load module /usr/opt/rpm/lib/librpm.a(librpm.so.9).
0509-150 Dependent module /usr/opt/rpm/lib/libintl.a(libintl.so.8) could not be loaded.
0509-022 Cannot load module /usr/opt/rpm/lib/libintl.a(libintl.so.8).
0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
Tentatively, can you copy from another LPAR this file /usr/opt/rpm/lib/libintl.a.
It looks like this file is removed.
And then export LIBPATH=/opt/freeware/lib and try??

Hi Ram,
You see the symbol _GLOBAL__AIXD_libintl_so is not exported from /usr/opt/rpm/lib/libintl.a(libintl.so.8).
It is exported from /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a.
Do you have ls -l /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 411692 Oct 20 2022 /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a
If you have check if that symbol exists.
# dump -Tov -X64 /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a | grep _GLOBAL__AIXI_libintl_so
[68] 0x20001230 .data EXP DS Ldef [noIMid] _GLOBAL__AIXI_libintl_so
export LIBPATH=/opt/freeware/lib
dnf update
After this you will no longer need to set LIBPATH, and dnf should work.
