1. Installed rpm.rte

 

2. Untar RPM files from YUM BUNDLE yum_bundle_v1.tar and tried to install the packages, but i get the following error.

# rpm -ivh *.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:

        libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so) is needed by python-pycurl-7.19.3-1.ppc
root@zap:/tmp/yum/rpm

 

But i see libcrypto.a, libssl.a are present in /opt/freeware/lib. But still that problem is present.

# ls -al /opt/freeware/lib/libssl.a

-rw-r--r--    1 root     system      5044508 Sep 18 10:25 /opt/freeware/lib/libcrypto.a
 

If I check the LIBPATH, it shows as:

# echo $LIBPATH
/usr/lib:/opt/freeware/lib:

 

 

# /usr/sbin/updtvpkg

Please help me to fix this problem.

Problem here mostly is because of /opt/freeware/lib/libssl.a from openssl rpm package.

We build all our rpm packages with AIX provided openssl fileset instead of openssl rpm package as we don't have openssl rpm package in our AIX Toolbox.

Is it possible to remove openssl rpm package ?

 

Thanks,

Sangamesh

As per your suggestion I have erased openssl rpm package. After this the libssl.a and libcrypto.a got deleted from /opt/freeware/lib. Now they are present only in /usr/lib.

I have exported the LIBPATH and still same result while installation.

 

# export LIBPATH=/usr/lib:/opt/freeware/lib
root@zap:/tmp/yum/rpm

# rpm -ivh *.rpm

Hi Satish,

 

Did you run updtvpkg command after removing openssl rpm package ?

You can check if you are getting output something like this.

 

# rpm -q AIX-rpm --provides | grep libcrypto
libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so)
libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.0.9.8)
libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.1.0.0)

.....

 

# rpm -q AIX-rpm --provides | grep libssl   
libssl.a(libssl.so)
libssl.a(libssl.so.0.9.8)
libssl.a(libssl.so.1.0.0)

...

 

Thanks,

Sangamesh

Something still could be wrong with your openssl. Not sure if openssl rpm removed the /usr/lib/libssl.a & /usr/lib/libcrypto.a.

Can you try and run  below command and see if you get  the similar output ?

The error "error: incorrect format: unknown tag" is know error message and this shouldn't cause any issue with rpm database or YUM.

Look at the Know issues section https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/ezinstall/ppc/README-yum

To avoid confusion I have deleted openssl fileset from my system using installp -ug openssl.

But to install the openssl fileset can you help me how to do this?

Run "updtvpkg" command after successful install of openssl and then try the rpm installs.

I generally use to install RPM files. I never did installation of filesets. Can you please give me the steps to install the openssl on AIX? 

I downloaded the openssl-1.0.2.1100.tar.Z from the link you provided.

 

If i give the following command it doesn't work.

# installp openssl-1.0.2.1100.tar.Z

installp:  No action was indicated.
        The -a (apply) flag is being assumed.
