Hi Team,

We are trying hard to install yum. If we try to install Python2 or 3 by rpm it asks for many dependencies. We tried to install them also but few conflicts it asks to remove but we cannot remove all as those are used by many other dependencies.

How to get these done. RPM is really painful in terms of dependencies and Yum is not at all getting install.

Getting below error while running yum command, it has been installed but not working.

root:/opt/freeware/etc/yum # yum install python

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/libpopt.so.

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/rpm/_rpm.so.

0509-150 Dependent module /opt/freeware/lib/libpopt.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:

2.7.10 (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

Thanks,

Hy priya,

Try to run /usr/sbin/updtvpkg first

Hi

To resolve dependency issues you can use yum, now dnf to install from the IBM repo.

You can follow

Ref: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/aix-old-open-source-rpm-packages-clean-then-use-yum

to clean up old rpms and start fresh.

Please review and implement on test first.
