    error: failed dependencies:

    libtcl8.4.so is needed by python-2.7.10-1

    libtk8.4.so is needed by python-2.7.10-1

    I had great hopes for fixing these dependencies by downloading the individual requisites from here:

    https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/tcltk/

    However, I found to my dismay that BOTH these respective RPM files were empty! 

    

tcl-8.4.7-4.aix6.1.ppc.rpm             30-Jul-2009 12:02  5.0K 

    

tk-8.4.7-4.aix6.1.ppc.rpm              30-Jul-2009 12:02  5.0K

    Does anyone know where I might find intact versions of these RPMs for AIX?

    Just run "updtvpkg" command which will solve the lib tcl/tk dependency problem and try installing packages from the bundle .

    Those two library comes from the AIX base lpp packages.
