We are working on AIX LPAR 7.2 .
We are working on a new installation of the YUM product.
We are working on a YUM server configuration.
YUM's packages are successfully installed.

 

The command      "yum install yum-utils" ran successfully.

But the command "yum install createrepo"  failed ...  

Please what could be the reason ?  Did we missed something ? What can we check ?

I thank your very much for your help,

Christophe

    Step 2 - to try to update the xz-libs  package under the control of YUM.      This operation is NOT successfull.
    Step 3 - to try to manually update the the xz-libs  package.            This operation is NOT successfull. Cf  failed dependencies.
    Step 4 - to check that libtiff-4.0.3-1.ppc and libxml2-2.9.1-1.ppc  do not come from the IBM AIX TOOLBOX.
    Step 5 - to try to erase the libtiff package under the control of YUM but there are links with  rrdtools (lpar2rrd monitoring tool).

    Step 6 - Do we have to replace non IBM  libtiff-4.0.3-1.ppc and libxml2-2.9.1-1.ppc    packages  with IBM AIX TOOL BOX packages ?
    Step 7 - Regarding links with   rrdtool    how can we replace these packages ?

 

Please have a look to the enclosed txt file.

You can try to downgrade libtiff and upgrade libxml2 using yum.

yum downgrade libtiff 

yum install libxml2 

After this you will be able to update xz-libs from AIX toolbox

Hello Ayappan,

I thank you very much for your help.

We think the   libtiff   package is used by one of our running  monitoring tool (lpar2rrd).

 

Do we have to stop   lpar2rrd before   downgrading  libtiff   ?

Will the lpar2rdd product start  successfully  after the  libtiff downgrade ?

Should we ask the question to the   lpar2rrd support team ?

 

Thank you very much Ayappan, have a nice day,

 

Christophe

Update to AIX Toolbox gtk version and then downgrade libtiff.

The command    "yum install createrepo"    is now successfull.

 

But YUM does not work anymore...

We know we have to suppress the openssl open source package.
But there is a dependencie with  a  rrdtool package (lpar2rrd monitoring tool)

What could be the solution ? We have to update the   rrdtool   package ? Is there another solution ?

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 /opt/freeware/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pycurl.so.
        0509-150   Dependent module /opt/freeware/lib/libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so) could not be loaded.

        0509-150   Dependent module /opt/freeware/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pycurl.so 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]

In this scenario, the only thing one can do is to extract the .so libraries from /usr/lib/libssl.a (& libcrypto.a) and put it inside the corresponding libraries in /opt/freeware/lib.

 

mkdir temp ; cd temp

/usr/bin/ar -x /usr/lib/libssl.a

/usr/bin/ar -q /opt/freeware/lib/libssl.a  libssl.so

 

Need to do the same for libcrypto.a also.

Hello Ayappan,

 

Please i have two more questions :

 

The lpar2rrd support team says that in our situation the       rrdtool   package does not need   the   rpm open source openssl package.

 

Question N°1 :

That mean we can do a    "rpm -ev --nodeps   open_ssl_package"   ?  Or is there a   softer  command ?

In case we have to reinstall the      open_ssl_package      do we have to take precautions ?

 

Question N°2 :

Before downgrading   libtiff    you suggested to   update  gtk2.   This operation ran successfully. 

 

Could a drowngrade of both  gtk2 and libtiff   have been a solution ?  "yum downgrade gtk2 libtiff" ?

 

In a few words why did you choose an   update   of  gtk2   rather than a downgrade ?

 

 

I thank you very much for your help,

Have a nice day,

1) Yes., You can remove openssl rpm using rpm --nodeps option. I don't think any other softer command exists.

2) The gtk2 version 2.20.1 installed in the machine was not from Toolbox and is a lower version. Toolbox has 2.24.30 which depends on a lower version of libtiff. 

So we upgraded gtk to remove the dependency on a higher version of libtiff ( which is not available in AIX Toolbox).

Ayappan,

It looks like something strange happened on when git-2.20.2-1 was pushed to the FTP server on March 27, 2020.  There are spec files with versions 2.20.2-1 for gtk2, libtiff, and hundreds of other packages.  It appears to be reeking havoc for automated build servers.

I don't see those problematic spec files. Might be a temporary glitch. Not sure about that.

It looks like the problematic spec files have been removed, but it does explain how gtk2 and libtiff packages could have been built from AIX Toolbox sources with those version numbers.  I am glad the glitch has been fixed.

Christophe,
You have AIX_Toolbox_71 configured on an AIX 7.2 LPAR.  You should configure AIX_Toolbox_72, but not AIX_Toolbox_71 nor AIX_Toolbox_61.  I ran into this problem several months ago and Ayappan helped me fix it.
