Hello,
I am trying to upgrade sudo on my AIX server (7.2 TL5 Sp6) due to the vulnerabilities reported on the previous version.
I have upgraded the openssl/openssh but facing dependency issues with openldap upgrade.

Openldap installation is failing due to libgcc dependency

rpm -Uvh --test openldap-2.5.16-3.aix7.1.ppc.rpm
warning: openldap-2.5.16-3.aix7.1.ppc.rpm: Header V4 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 41eea8e0: NOKEY
error: Failed dependencies:
        libgcc >= 10.3.0 is needed by openldap-2.5.16-3.ppc


Currently libgcc libgcc-8.3.0-1.ppc is installed and db and cyrus-sasl requires this rpm and cannot be removed.
# rpm -q libgcc
libgcc-8.3.0-1.ppc

How to proceed further as I cannot install libgcc >= 10.3.0.

Thanks,
Ganesh S

Hi Ganesh,

It is recommended to setup DNF to install packages from AIX Toolbox

Let us know if you have any constraint in setting up the DNF.

HI Sangamesh,

Thanks for the update.  Our environment is Air Gapped (non internet facing), there is no scope to install DNF, that is the reason looking for other options.

Hi Ganesh,

Please go through this blog. The AIX Toolbox media image will setup dnf locally.
Then you can install openldap using dnf without internet connection taking care of its dependencies automatically.
