     I am trying to install yum by running yum.sh.  It is failing when trying to install python.  Here are the messages,

Skipping readline-6.1-2 as higher version is already installed.

Please make sure these packages are from the Toolbox as there is no guarantee that

third party packages are compatible with Toolbox packages.

 

sqlite-3.7.9-1 is installed.  Updating to sqlite-3.15.2-1 ...

yum-3.4.3-5 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

        python = 2.6.2-1 is needed by (installed) python-libs-2.6.2-1.ppc

 

 

     But I do have libtcl and libtk but they are version 8.5 instead of 8.4.  

 

(/tmp/yum-20180614135731)> ls /usr/lib/libtcl*
/usr/lib/libtcl.so     /usr/lib/libtcl8.5.so

(/tmp/yum-20180614135731)> ls /usr/lib/libtk*
/usr/lib/libtk.so     /usr/lib/libtk8.5.so

 

     Do I need to downgrade them?  Any advices?  Thanks.

 

Francis.

Please check if  tcl.base, tk.base, expect.base packages are installed.

# lslpp -L | grep tcl.base
  tcl.base                   8.4.7.0    C     F    Binary executable files of Tcl

etc..

 

# lslpp -w /usr/lib/libtcl8.4.so
  File                                        Fileset               Type
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  /usr/lib/libtcl8.4.so                       tcl.base              File

 

And what version of AIX you have ?

 

These filesets should be installed by default.

 

Also please check who is providing  /usr/lib/libtcl8.5.so

by running "rpm -qf  /usr/lib/libtcl8.5.so" 

 

Thanks,

Sangamesh

Thanks Sangamesh.  The server I am working on is an older AIX server that has been upgraded a few times.  Those packages, tcl.base, tk.base, etc, were not on the server.  I re-imaged the server and now everything is working.  

 

One last question, is it possible to use yum via a proxy?  If so, how?  Can I just update yum.conf?  Thanks again.

Using proxy is straight forward in Yum. Follow the steps here --> https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/yum/sn-yum-proxy-server.html
