Hello All,

I have installed the yum rpm packages along with its dependencies, but when
I ran the command throwing the below error.

[ ampsv019ecc1q :root:/home/homeldap/in000nea:] yum
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

Could not load module /usr/opt/rpm/lib/librpm.so.
Dependent module /opt/freeware/lib/liblua.a(liblua-5.3.so) could
not be loaded.
Member liblua-5.3.so is not found in archive
Could not load
module /opt/freeware/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rpm/_rpm.so.
Dependent module /usr/opt/rpm/lib/librpm.so could not be loaded.

Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.

It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.7.10 (default, Jun 22 2016, 05:57:59) [C]

If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
the yum faq at:

Any suggestion or solution will be great ful.

Hi,

From the error message it looks like liblua is not the one expected by yum.
Could you please share some more information. 
What is the level of AIX ? 
Please provide output of following commands
$ ls -l /opt/freeware/lib/liblua.a
$ lslpp -l rpm.rte
$ rpm -qa ​| grep lua

The lua rpm package is old and it does not contain the shared object needed for yum to work.
I am not sure how you ended up in this situation. Though the lua library is delivered by rpm.rte package as well but looks like lua rpm path is preferred.
As a first try just remove lua.rpm package then it will start using lua delivered by rpm.rte but if that does not work because of some environment then
You can install latest lua.rpm manually from AIX toolbox (as yum is not working right now). 
https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/lua/lua-5.4.1-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm

Here are things you should try
1. Uninstall lua.rpm package and then try to run yum (mostly it should work)
2. If first step does not work then install latest lua.rpm (link given above) manually.

Hope this should resolve your issue.

Looks like you are running quite an old environment from AIX toolbox.  Not sure why did you install rpm.rpm package. 
Can you provide output of following command ? Also what is the version of AIX ?

$ rpm -qa

The lua rpm package is old and it does not contain the shared object needed for yum to work.
I am not sure how you ended up in this situation. Though the lua library is delivered by rpm.rte package as well but looks like lua rpm path is preferred.
As a first try just remove lua.rpm package then it will start using lua delivered by rpm.rte but if that does not work because of some environment then
You can install latest lua.rpm manually from AIX toolbox (as yum is not working right now). 
https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/lua/lua-5.4.1-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm

Here are things you should try
1. Uninstall lua.rpm package and then try to run yum (mostly it should work)
2. If first step does not work then install latest lua.rpm (link given above) manually.

Hope this should resolve your issue.

Hello All,

I have installed the yum rpm packages along with its dependencies, but when
I ran the command throwing the below error.

[ ampsv019ecc1q :root:/home/homeldap/in000nea:] yum
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

Could not load module /usr/opt/rpm/lib/librpm.so.
Dependent module /opt/freeware/lib/liblua.a(liblua-5.3.so) could
not be loaded.
Member liblua-5.3.so is not found in archive
Could not load
module /opt/freeware/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rpm/_rpm.so.
Dependent module /usr/opt/rpm/lib/librpm.so could not be loaded.

Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.

It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.7.10 (default, Jun 22 2016, 05:57:59) [C]

If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
the yum faq at:
http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq

Any suggestion or solution will be great ful.

Let me know the output of "rpm -ql rpm".
To check if any other packages apart lua are having dependency rpm-4.9.1.3-3 you can run "rpm -e rpm"
