yum installation / libtcl8.4.so is needed by python-2.7.10-1.ppc libtk8.4.so is needed by python-2.7.10-1.ppc

  • 1.  yum installation / libtcl8.4.so is needed by python-2.7.10-1.ppc libtk8.4.so is needed by python-2.7.10-1.ppc

    Posted Thu April 22, 2021 04:32 AM
    Hello,

    We are trying to install   YUM  on our AIX 7.2   partition  adcci063.
    This partition has been migrated from AIX 7.1 to AIX 7.2 yesterday.

    When trying to install YUM we had the message below :

    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
    Yum_rpm_update_python-2.7.10-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm_2021-04-21T11:55:18.log: END

    Looking for a solution we had a look to the aix open source forum and understood we had to check the AIX TCK and TL  filesets.
    Unfortunately these  TCL and TK AIX filesets are missing...

    We do not understand why ?

    We have installed    YUM   on several AIX 7.2 partitions. And the TCL and TK filesets were available.
    We did not had to manually install these two filesets.

    If we have a look to the installed rpm TCL and TK packages on our   adcci063 paritition we can see
    they do not come from   IBM aix toolbox.

    adcci063(root) / # oslevel -s

    adcci063(root) / #

    It seems that the TCK and TCL filesets are available on our AIX 7.2 partitions ONLY if TCL and TK rpm packages come from IBM Aixtool Box.

    Can you confirm this point ?  Is has something to see with  fileset   rpm.rte    and   ODM  ?

    We thank you very for your assistance and help.

    Christophe

    ps : We have manually installed TK and TCL filesets and YUM installation is OK now. But we would like to understand what happened.

    AIX tcl and tk fileset are not dependent on tcl and tk rpms.
    You need to install tcl and tk filset from AIX media or AIX image.
    They are not currently installed on the system as seen by lslpp command.
    After installing tcl and tk fileset run following command to make sure AIX virtual rpm package (AIX-rpm) is updated.
    #updtvpkg 

    After that try to install yum again. ​​
