  • 1.  updtvpkg error

    Posted Fri October 28, 2022 08:34 AM
    Hi team
    I am getting below verbose output when I run updtvpkg in AIX. How can I find what/if any links are missing which is causing this issue? We have 7200-05-03 (rpm.rte 4.15.1.3). We upgraded the rpm.rte to 4.15.1.1006, but no luck.

    Rizwan,

    Hi, good day to you.  I had a "similar" issue ("/usr/sbin/rpm_share[457]: 4^J4: 0403-057 Syntax error") when moving from 7.1 to 7.3.

    What do you get when you run "lslpp -hac rpm.rte" as I get the following (now that everything is fixed)?

    lslpp -hac rpm.rte
#Path:Fileset:Level:PTF Id:Action:Status:Date:Time
/usr/lib/objrepos:rpm.rte:4.15.1.2004::COMMIT:COMPLETE:06/24/22:09;49;18
/usr/lib/objrepos:rpm.rte:4.15.1.2004::APPLY:COMPLETE:06/24/22:09;49;18
/etc/objrepos:rpm.rte:4.15.1.2004::COMMIT:COMPLETE:06/24/22:09;49;28
/etc/objrepos:rpm.rte:4.15.1.2004::APPLY:COMPLETE:06/24/22:09;49;2​

    Hi,

    I had the same issue on few servers when setting up yum or dnf on LPARs that were migrated many times over the times (some come from AIX 5.3 and were migrated to 6.1, 7.1 and 7.2). 

    Most of the times I could solve that issue by uninstalling and installing ca-certificates RPM. Note: If I did 'yum reinstall -y ca-certificates', it did not solve the issue. I really had to uninstall ca-certificates (rpm -e --nodeps ca-certificates) and install it again (either rpm -ivh <path to ca-certificates RPM> or yum/dnf install -y ca-certificates)

    Best regards
