  • 1.  Sudo RPM Installation in AIX 7.2

    Good day!

    Hi All,

    I hope you're doing well. I'd like to ask for your help. Recently we tried to install sudo_noldap 1.9.5p2 and we get errors during installation due to dependencies we tried to install the missing rpm however the other became loop of dependencies. What will be the easiest way to resolve this. We also tried to install using the ISO containing the AIX Toolbox from IBM however the SUDO RPM has failed to install. We attached the screenshots of SUDO RPM installation.

    Hoping for positive response.

    Thank you and Keep safe.

    Hello, Jefferson
    IBM generally recommends YUM to manage Open Source package dependencies.

    Hi Jan,

    We are trying to open your given URL, but we encountered " Internal Server Error".

    Hi Sanket,

    We are going to try to use the YUM installation. Currently we have the iso of AIX Toolbox.

    Thank you.

    Hi Jefferson,

    As Jan mentioned yum/dnf is the best way to resolve dependencies of rpm packages.
    It is same as any other RPM based distro. Resolving manually dependencies it very tedious job. 
    In recent AIX toolbox ISO we have also put a script that can create a local yum repo with the ISO image and you can install using that as well.

    Hi  Jan and Sanket,

    We are able to install the SUDO RPM when we downloaded the sudo-1.9.8-3.aix72.rpm form  the below URL for AIX 7.2:

    rpm -ivh <rpm path>

    https://www.sudo.ws/download.html

    I think the IBM Toolbox site must be updated base on supported OS Level.

    Thank you.

    Hi, Jefferson

    The URL https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6237870 opens for me on multiple browsers and platforms.
    Perhaps there was a temporary glitch.

    ***Please note that AIX does not test external packages, so if you install non-AIX Toolbox packages that contain files also provided by AIX Toolbox, you could experience dependency conflicts with AIX toolbox packages.

    IBM still officially recommends YUM/DNF to manage dependencies.
