  • 1.  yum update breaks python and yum itself

    Posted Sat January 30, 2021 11:32 PM
    After sync-ing our yum repo to the latest toolbox rpms 2 days ago, in after more than 6 months, a yum update (which completed without errors) has now broken python2.7 and yum itself.

    root@server333 [/root]# yum
    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/rpm/_rpm.so.
    0509-150 Dependent module libpopt.so could not be loaded.
    0509-022 Cannot load module libpopt.so.
    0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
    0509-022 Cannot load module /opt/freeware/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rpm/_rpm.so.
    0509-150 Dependent module /opt/freeware/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rpm/_rpm.so could not be loaded.


    So I tried updating to the latest rpm.rte (after yum update), but that hasn't helped either. The error is now different, but still unusable python and yum.

    root@server333 [/root]# yum
    exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /opt/freeware/bin/python2 because of the following errors:

    Please check if you have any LIBPATH set.
    I think LIBPATH is first pointing to /usr/opt/rpm/lib, in that case i would recommend to have that in the last.

    Share the below outputs
    ls -l /opt/freeware/lib/libsqlite3.so
    file /opt/freeware/lib/libsqlite3.so

    Try to re-install sqlite rpm.

    rpm -Uvh --force sqlite-3.32.3-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm

    There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
    required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

    rtld: 0712-001 Symbol _GLOBAL__AIXI_libbz2_so was referenced
    from module /opt/freeware/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/bz2.so(), but a runtime definition
    of the symbol was not found.
    rtld: 0712-001 Symbol _GLOBAL__AIXD_libbz2_so was referenced

    of the symbol was not found.

    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:
    2.7.18 (default, May 4 2020, 03:46:51)
    [GCC 8.3.0]

    I am not sure how the symbolic links are messed up.
    Installing rpm.rte will create symbolic links to /usr/opt/rpm/lib only if the libraries are not found in /opt/freeware/lib.

    For the above error, you need to reinstall bzip2 rpm, same like sqlite.

    Reinstalling bzip2 has fixed it!
    I ran the yum update all on 2 of our test LPARs which were both at the same level of RPMs and they both ended up in exactly the same state, so not sure where I went wrong. I was worried it might have been caused by the jump from an old repo (6+ months since last reposync). We have a many LPARs to now update, so hopefully this solution will work if we end up in a similar situation again. Thanks Ayappan!
