On our AIX 7.1 TL5 partition today we have decided to install   YUM.   The installation of YUM  is successfull.

Then we have decided to install    bash     using the YUM product.     The installation of    bash   is successfull.   Many thanks to YUM.

 

But now our   YUM commands    do not work anymore ...

There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

        0509-022 Cannot load module /usr/lib/libintl.a(libintl.so.8).
        0509-150   Dependent module /usr/lib/libiconv.a(libiconv.so.2) could not be loaded.
        0509-152   Member libiconv.so.2 is not found in archive
        0509-022 Cannot load module /opt/freeware/lib/python2.7/site-packages/_sqlitecache.so.
        0509-150   Dependent module /usr/lib/libintl.a(libintl.so.8) 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
 

 

We have decided to update   the fileset   rpm.rte   from version 4.13.0.3   to   4.13.0.11     and ran   updtvpkg.

This makes no difference. 

 

aicci003(root) /tmp/derouet/yum # rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib/libintl.a
gettext-0.19.8.1-4.ppc
aicci003(root) /tmp/derouet/yum #
aicci003(root) /tmp/derouet/yum # rpm -qa gettext
gettext-0.19.8.1-4.ppc
aicci003(root) /tmp/derouet/yum #
 

 

What should we check ?  We thank you very much for your help,

Christophe

Update the gettext package to 0.19.8.1-5 level . That will resolve the issue.

Hello Ayappan P, I am getting exact the same error when using yum right after successfully installing yum based on this link -https://developer.ibm.com/articles/configure-yum-on-aix/

My OS is AIX 7200-05-03-2048. Currently I have gettext package 0.19.7-1.ppc installed. Like you suggested above, I tried updating it to 0.18.8.1-5 level but getting into this infinite dependency requirements (i.e this would require another rpm and that rpm would require another or number of other rpms and so on). Should I try installing DNF ? Most of the rpms that installed for yum appears to have some AIX 6.1 description and I am wondering if I need to have the rpms at a very lower level. But those rpms are the ones listed in the link above I posted (https://developer.ibm.com/articles/configure-yum-on-aix/). 

Can you help how to get yum working ?

Yum is out of support. Try to install dnf. Please checkout the blog about installing dnf in this forum.

Thank you very much Ayappan    it is OK now.

 

Can you tell me what happened ? Why did we had to upgrade our      gettext    package ?

 

Have a nice day,

Christophe

Sometimes users environment has LIBPATH set as "/usr/lib:/opt/freeware/lib:/lib" . And some packages has "/usr/lib" first in the library search path. 

This creates problem for packages that link with GNU libiconv ( /opt/freeware/liblibiconv.a (libiconv.so.2)) which we ship as a rpm in AIX Toolbox. Because AIX base OS also ships /usr/lib/libiconv.a ( shr.o/shr4.o/shr4_64.o) .

In the latest gettext-0.19.8.1-5 , we have hardcoded the library search path for libiconv.a as "/opt/freeware/lib/" so that setting LIBPATH mentioned above won't affect it.

I think in your case , i suspect LIBPATH is set as "/usr/lib:/opt/freeware/lib.."
