Installed "yum" on an AIX 7.2 without issue then wnet to run "yum update" and get this error message:

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

   pycurl: libcurl link-time version (7.52.1) is older than compile-time version (7.56.1)

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:
2.7.15 (default, Sep 19 2018, 13:47:10)
[GCC 7.1.0]

If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
the yum faq at:
  http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq
 

=============================

# rpm -qa | grep curl
curl-7.52.1-1.ppc
python-pycurl-7.19.3-1.ppc
======================================

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Suggest you to reinstall curl & pycurl ( the same versions you already have )

Share the output of "rpm -qa".

You can better run the "yum.sh" script once again to bring yum back to the working state.

Able to repair the yum script with your suggestions.  Get a warning message when I do a yum install - yum install bash-docs: (it did install successfully)

Output of "rpm -qa" below this output of the 'yum install bash-doc'
