I installed all the yum_bundle.tar.

http://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/ezinstall/ppc/

Then, I have found missed rpm.rte.  Then, install it by smit.

After this, I have upgraded the related rpm again.  Then, erase the yum and re-install the yum.

A New Big Problem Introduced

Unfortunately, I tried to do the same thing in a LPAR with a SAMBA 3 (by rpms from perzl.org many years ago NOT installp).  It was just upgraded from AIX 7.1.3 to AIX 7.2.5 with DB2 v11.5.5.  This is a very vital testing machine. 

Then, I repeated the same steps as suggested (succeed in a clean LPAR).
It shows the same error after installation of rpms.  It makes me shocked.  I did exactly the same stuff.

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

0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for /usr/lib/libz.a(libz.so.1) because:
0509-136 Symbol __cxa_finalize (number 1) is not exported from
dependent module /opt/freeware/lib/libgcc_s.a(shr.o).
0509-136 Symbol _GLOBAL__AIXI_shr_o (number 2) is not exported from
dependent module /opt/freeware/lib/libgcc_s.a(shr.o).
0509-136 Symbol _GLOBAL__AIXD_shr_o (number 3) is not exported from
dependent module /opt/freeware/lib/libgcc_s.a(shr.o).
0509-022 Cannot load module /opt/freeware/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rpm/_rpm.so.
0509-026 System error: Cannot run a file that does not have a valid format.
0509-192 Examine .loader section symbols with the
'dump -Tv' command.

My steps:
1. install rpm.rte -> looks successful
2. rpm -ivh (all rpm in the yum_bundle.tar) 

Actually, I have installed rpm.rte from http://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/INSTALLP/ppc/

However, my output doesn't look good.

# ls -l /usr/lib/libpopt.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 38 Apr 25 2014 /usr/lib/libpopt.so -> /usr/opt/freeware/lib/libpopt.so.0.0.0
# sum /usr/lib/libpopt.so
sum: 0653-690 Cannot open /usr/lib/libpopt.so.

# dump -Tv /usr/lib/libpopt.so | grep popt
dump: /usr/lib/libpopt.so: dump: 0654-106 Cannot open the specified file.

There is no obvious error in the installation. Only thing is some RPMs were already installed on the system before YUM. 

But hope they are not causing any issue. Do you know from where they were installed ?

Could you please share output of following.

# ls -l /usr/lib/libpopt.so

# sum /usr/lib/libpopt.so

# dump -Tv /usr/lib/libpopt.so | grep popt
