"sudo_noldap-1.9.5p2", sudo without ldap support (and hence no ldap dependency) is now available in Toolbox.

https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/sudo_noldap/sudo_noldap-1.9.5p2-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm

Now only gettext & zlib are the dependencies. 

This rpm conflicts with sudo & sudo_ids rpm . So users need to remove sudo/sudo_ids before installing this. 
rpm update or yum update as such won't work.

# rpm -qpR sudo_noldap-1.9.5p2-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
/bin/sh
config(sudo_noldap) = 1.9.5p2-1
gettext >= 0.19.8.1
libc.a(shr.o)
libc.a(shr_64.o)
libintl.a(libintl.so.8)
libpam.a(shr.o)
libpam.a(shr_64.o)
libpthread.a(shr_xpg5.o)
libpthread.a(shr_xpg5_64.o)

That's great news! Thanks for the build with minimum dependencies.

#AIXOpenSource

gettext & zlib may be the only dependencies for sudo_noldap-1.9.5p2-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm, but getting past the dependencies for gettext is a real problem when yum is not permitted on my AIX servers. Most of the dependencies are available on the Toolbox site, but not all. Then I run into dependencies for the dependencies, some of which point back to gettext as a dependency. I even have run into cases where a dependency is called for, but the dependency is installed. See below example. 
[root@test2 sudo]# rpm -Uvh ncurses-6.2-2.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libstdc++ >= 8.3.0-1 is needed by ncurses-6.2-2.ppc
[root@test2 sudo]# rpm -Uvh libstdcplusplus8-8.3.0-4.aix7.1.ppc.rpm
Preparing... ################################# [100%]
package libstdc++8-8.3.0-4.ppc is already installed

I have never had problems like this when installing sudo in the past, but I have a clinical application that requires it. What's the solution?

Hi Steve,

You also need to install libstdc++8 metapackage as well libstdcplusplus-8-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm.
Please download and install libstdcplusplus-8-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm.

Please check this blog post if want to know more about  the gcc multi version changes.

Rather than spend the rest of my life chasing down dependencies, I decided to follow the recommendation on another thread to install yum to handle dependencies using the EZ Installer script http://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/ezinstall/ppc/yum.sh, but that fails with missing dependencies too. Any idea where to find them?

readline-6.1-2 will be installed ...
sqlite-3.15.2-1 will be installed ...
yum-3.4.3-8 will be installed ...
yum-metadata-parser-1.1.4-2 will be installed ...

Installing the packages...

error: Failed dependencies:
libtcl8.4.so is needed by python-2.7.10-1.ppc
libtk8.4.so is needed by python-2.7.10-1.ppc

Yum installation failed.
If the failure was due to a space issue, increase the size of /opt and re-run yum.sh
or install the downloaded packages from /tmp/yum-20210212083705 manually.
Another reason for failure could be mixing of Toolbox packages and packages from other sources.

Hi Steve,

Please run updtvpkg command and confirm if AIX-rpm provides libtcl8.4.so & libtk8.4.so.

# rpm -q --provides AIX-rpm | egrep "libtcl|libtk"
libtcl.so
libtcl8.4.so
libtcl8.6.so
libtk.so
libtk8.4.so
libtk8.6.so

These are provided by tcl.base and tk.base fillet.

Once confirming this please rerun the yum.sh script.

Hi Ayappan,

I am new to this community, i read your post and tried to update sudo as below :

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
root@XXX:/tmp/sudo # rpm -Uvh sudo_noldap-1.9.5p2-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
virhe: Puuttuvia riippuvuuksia:
gettext >= 0.19.8.1 is needed by sudo_noldap-1.9.5p2-1.ppc
zlib >= 1.2.11-1 is needed by sudo_noldap-1.9.5p2-1.ppc
sudo on ristiriidassa -sudo_noldap-1.9.5p2-1.ppc:n kanssa
root@XXX:/tmp/sudo #
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do i need to download gettext & zlib dependent package & install ? If yes, can you please share link from where to download .... would be a great help.


Thanks,
Madhu
