  • 1.  yum fails after idsldap filesets are updated

    Posted Fri August 07, 2020 02:13 AM
    A working YUM configuration is broken after IBM DS LDAP idsldap filesets are updated. Does anyone have a way to avoid this and similar issues where LPP delivered libs created issues for toolbox rpms? Thought toolbox RPMs would just use /opt/freeware/lib but evidently not. Not so sure if this is a yum or a python issue either.

    root@x:/root: yum repolist
    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 /lib/libcurl.a(libcurl.so.4).
      0509-150 Dependent module /lib/libldap.a(libldap-2.4.so.2) could not be loaded.
      0509-153 File /lib/libldap.a is not an archive or the file could not be read properly.
      0509-026 System error: Cannot run a file that does not have a valid format.
      0509-022 Cannot load module /opt/freeware/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pycurl.so.
      0509-150 Dependent module /lib/libcurl.a(libcurl.so.4) 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:2.7.17 (default, Feb 24 2020, 10:57:43) [GCC 8.3.0]

    The required archives are still available in /opt/freeware/lib and nothing has changed here since the IDSLDAP filesets were updated.
    root@x:/root: ls /opt/freeware/lib/|egrep 'curl|ldap'
    libcurl.a
    libldap-2.4.a
    libldap-2.4.so.2
    libldap.a
    libldap_r-2.4.a
    libldap_r-2.4.so.2
    libldap_r.a

    But new archive files have been installed in /usr/lib which didn't exist prior to the idsldap lpp update.
    root@x:/root: ls /usr/lib|grep ldap
    idsldap_plugin_ibm_gsskrb_64.a idsldap_plugin_ibm_gsskrb.a idsldap_plugin_sasl_digest-md5_64.a idsldap_plugin_sasl_digest-md5.a ldap_plugin_ibm_gsskrb_64.a ldap_plugin_ibm_gsskrb.a ldap_plugin_sasl_digest-md5_64.a ldap_plugin_sasl_digest-md5.a libgsk8ldap_64.so libgsk8ldap.so libibmldap64.a libibmldap.a libibmldapstatic64.a libibmldapstatic.a libidsldap64.a
    libidsldap.a
    libidsldapstatic64.a
    libidsldapstatic.a
    libldap64.a
    libldap.a
    libldapiconv64.a
    libldapiconv.a

    And now YUM (python) tries to use /lib/libldap.a instead of /opt/freeware/lib/libldap.a.  Right now I'm having to set LIBPATH=/opt/freeware/lib to get yum working, but other AIX toolbox RPMs like curl are also broken after the update of idsldap.

    Normally, AIX Toolbox packages can co-exist with lpp packages like (IBM LDAP, IBM NAS, AIX libiconv ). But exports like "LIBPATH=/usr/lib" will create conflicts because of the library names being the same. In your case , i think LIBPATH is exported to /usr/lib or lib which creates this problem. We are going to hardcode the library search path in the future to avoid these kind of conflicts.

    Hello Ayappan, 

    Thanks, you were right!
    root had LIBPATH set in it's env for some reason. I wasn't expecting to see that!

    cheers,
