DNF is now available on AIX Toolbox

Introduction

dnf or dandified yum, the next-generation version of the Yellowdog Updater, Modified (yum) is now available on AIX Toolbox.

yum is python2 based package manager and python2 is already out of support from the community.

Hence, there was a need to move to a package manager which works with python3.

dnf or Dandified yum works with python3.

 

dnf roughly maintains CLI compatibility with yum and defines a strict API for extensions and plugins.

It has well documented APIs and uses a state-of-the-art (SAT)-based dependency solver etc.

 

Existing AIX Toolbox repositories created for yum works with dnf hence no changes needed in repository side.

 

Installing dnf

 

To setup and run dnf on AIX, one can use the dnf_aixtoolbox.sh script.

This script is similar to the yum.sh script which is for setting yum on AIX.

 

As mentioned, dnf uses the existing AIX Toolbox repositories, and while installing dnf conf file with required repositories are created.

Once dnf is installed no configuration change is required to use dnf.

 

Space and system requirements

Space requirement:

    300 MB /tmp free space

    460 MB /opt free space

 

dnf works on AIX 7.1 TL3 and higher versions.

Openssl 1.0.2.2001 and higher version needs to be installed.

 

 

Running dnf_aixtoolbox.sh script

 

# ./dnf_aixtoolbox.sh -?

Usage: dnf_aixtoolbox.sh <-d> <-y> <-n> -?

 

      -d    Install and setup dnf if yum is not installed.

      -y    Update yum3 to yum4(softlink to dnf).

            Use this option if want to redirect all yum commands to dnf.

            Existing yum-3.4.3 will be updated to yum-4.x.x(dnf)

      -n    Install dnf where both yum and dnf can coexist if yum is installed already.

            This is not a recommended option.

 

-d option:

     This option can be used if there is no yum is installed on the machine.

     This will setup dnf as the default package manger.

 

-y option:

     This is the most recommended option if yum is already installed.

     This option can be used in two situations.

  1. If yum is already installed and wants to update yum3 to yum4(dnf).

          All yum commands are dnf commands as yum will be just a soft link to dnf.

  1. If yum3(3.4.3) isn’t installed but still like to use yum command which are actually dnf commands.

 

-n option:

    This is not a recommended option.

 

    This option can be used if yum is already installed and wants to have dnf to be also at the same time.

    User needs to use yum or dnf commands accordingly.

    

    yum and dnf databases can’t be shared between them and can’t migrate yum database to dnf database

    if dnf database is already created by running some transactions.

    Whatever the transaction done with yum will exists in yum database and dnf transaction exists

    with dnf databases only.

 

With the option -y or -n dnf_aixtoolbox.sh script itself tries to run ‘dnf migrate’ to migrate yum database to dnf if

dnf was installed successfully.

 

NOTE:

       1.“dnf migrate” needs to be run as the first command before any of the dnf commands.

           Hence this has been taken care in the  dnf_aixtoolbox.sh script itself.

  1. Don’t run migrate if you have already setup dnf and some transactions are already made with dnf,

           as migrate won’t be able to take yum transactions and update those to the existing dnf databases.

 

 

Repository conf file and local repositories

 

dnf uses the repository conf file /opt/freeware/etc/dnf/dnf.conf.

This is similar to the /opt/freeware/etc/yum/yum.conf file of  yum.

 

When users migrate from yum3(3.4.3) to yum4 then.

  1. Existing yum.conf file is being used as dnf.conf with some of below default additional entries.

          cachedir=/var/cache/dnf

          keepcache=1

          debuglevel=2

          logfile=/var/log/dnf.log

          obsoletes=1

          plugins=1

          gpgcheck=1

          installonly_limit=3

          clean_requirements_on_remove=True

          best=True

          skip_if_unavailable=True

 

  1. dnf understands local repositories created in /opt/freeware/etc/yum/repos.d or /opt/freeware/etc/yum.repos.d.

          So, once after update from yum3(3.4.3) to yum4 we should be able to list local repository with dnf.

 

 

Migrate plugin

Migrate plugin is used to migrate yum history, yumdb & yum groups to dnf.

‘dnf migrate’ is the command which tries to migrate above 3 mentioned data to dnf.

 

If dnf_aixtoolbox.sh script is launched with either “-y” or “-n” option then ‘dnf migrate’ command is run after successful install of dnf and related packages.

This is required as running any dnf command creates the dnf history file.

So, migrate command needs to be run before creating dnf history file.

 

NOTE: 1. Migrating groups from yum to dnf has not been fully tested as AIX Toolbox repository

                 doesn’t provide any yum groups.      

           2.   Other plugins which are part of plugin core package aren’t tested yet.

                 These will mostly be tested during second quarter of 2021.

Has anyone seen this kind of a problem with DNF?

I successfully installed it, but when I run the "info" command I see this output:

dnf installation failed.
If the failure was due to a space issue, increase the size of /opt and re-run script again.
Another reason for failure could be mixing of Toolbox packages and packages from other sources.

Hi Christian,

Yes. You can install dnf-utils and createrepo_c which are available now.

Hello,

Last year we migrated for yum to dnf with all our client lpar’s.

Only our central local repo server is not converted and still using the old yum variant

We like to move to dnf for our repo server also but when we do

Commands like

reposync -p ${target} -r AIX_Toolbox_72 -a ppc >>${log} 2>&1

and

createrepo ${target}/AIX_Toolbox_73 >>${log} 2>&1

are broken because the libraries does not support these command’s

If I remember it, this should become available end of last year, can someone tell me if it is available now?

Greetings Christian Sonnemans.

It is till the problem with not finding proper rpm library librpm.
Provide the output of "ldd /opt/freeware/lib/python3.7/site-packages/rpm/_rpm.so"

And I think you still seems to be have old dnf binary link.
We aren't providing /usr/bin/dnf.
What's is the output of "rpm -qf /usr/bin/dnf" ?

Libpath is not set, lppcheck output looks good as there is no output.

Is their any LIBPATH is set ?
What is the output of "lppchk -c rpm.rte" ?

From the list it seems you have all the required rpms installed.
Are you able to run dnf command now ?

Hi Matthias,

Please provide the output of "rpm -qa".

Inside the bundle we provide install_dnf.sh script which also can be used to install dnf instead of manually choosing rpms for install.

Do you have dnf installed already ?
We changed a package versioning and added some checks where it failing for some of the packages.

We are working on other DNF plugins and mostly be available by end of this quarter.

Sebastian Bromme
Mon February 07, 2022 09:36 AM

Thanks. Installation worked for me as explained. Can we have DNF plugin "versionlock" in the toolbox repository. As far as i can see it´s not shipped with python3-dnf-plugins-core-4.0.16-32_1.aix7.1.noarch.rpm from the dnf_bundle_aix_71_72.tar file.

Great post, thanks! Is it safe or even recommended to uninstall yum after successful dnf migration? I also thought of renaming the yum utility to avoid unwanted usage.

Cory Beverlin
Tue January 11, 2022 02:12 PM

Yes, I already had transaction history under yum.

And yes, seemingly dnf command works.  But, I've been reluctant to proceed with updating rpm's until I figure out the previous questions.

What caused this error?  (It's from update_pkg_yumdb, but what caused the error?  I can't reproduce it by running the queries from python/sqlite3)
What is the impact of this error?
How to recover from this error?
What can be checked to prevent this error in the future?

SANGAMESH MALLAYYA
Tue January 11, 2022 05:21 AM

This error is when during migration of yum database to DNF there is one required sqlite table is being created.  It is failing with that step.
Usually this happens if there is no YUM database exists.
You already some database like history created with YUM ?
This isn't an issue with DNF, it's just that it can't import some of the YUM database to DNF.

Cory Beverlin
Mon January 10, 2022 05:25 PM

I upgraded from yum to dnf and also received the below error:

Trying to create pkg_yumdb database required for migrate plugin

The python script update_pkg_yumdb looks to be an IBM exclusive?

I would like to understand the following:

Hi Michael,

Sorry for the delay.
Not sure if you have already figure out that you need to either set the PATH to /opt/freeware/bin or use the /opt/freeware/bin/dnf command.

Okay. We haven't seen any issue related to the link before.
Will check and correct  the link being provided from rpm-python3.

Martin Vrskovy
Thu September 09, 2021 05:03 AM

Hi, recreating of link helps.

Now when I'm looking on the origin link there is a mistake probably:
instead of:
/opt/freeware/lib/python3.7/site-packages/rpm -> ../../../../../../usr/opt/rpm/lib/python3.7/site-packages/rpm

there was:
/opt/freeware/lib/python3.7/site-packages/rpm -> ../../../../..//usr/opt/rpm/lib/python3.7/site-packages/rpm

then link was starting in /opt instead of / ( root) dnf was not working

When I have corrected this with:
ln -sf ../../../../../../usr/opt/rpm/lib/python3.7/site-packages/rpm /opt/freeware/lib/python3.7/site-packages/rpm

dnf is working fine.

From my point of view rpm-python3-4.15.1-32_1.ppc contains that link, could you please check if creating of link is done correctly in rpm?

Thanks for your really fast replies.

SANGAMESH MALLAYYA
Thu September 09, 2021 04:48 AM

Not sure what the exact issue is.
But somehow it is not able to find the installed rpm-python3 python modules.

Could you recreate this soft link and check ?
ln -sf /usr/opt/rpm/lib/python3.7/site-packages/rpm /opt/freeware/lib/python3.7/site-packages/rpm

Also what is the output of ls -l /usr/opt/rpm/lib/python3.7/site-packages/rpm ?

The message regarding yum4 is of the yum4 update pre installation message.
NameError is something which it isn't able to read the YUM packages information.

Yes. the NameError shouldn't affect the dnf working.

Link and files installed seems to be fine. Not sure what the exact issue is.

Please check if this also fails.

But I'm don't have idea why and if it could somehow affect functionallity of dnf itself. From my point of view it could cause issue with repositories, but dnf itself should work.

Hi Martin,

If you have the output saved that would be helpful to look the possible issue.
Does rpm-python3 rpm packages is installed and what is the output of rpm -ql rpm-python3 ?

After runnning install script with -y option, it looks that everything was succesfully installed.

No errors appers, but dnf is not working at the end due to missing "rpm"module for python.

Hi Frank,

It's related to data limit size. We are checking this and let you know.

AIX 7.3 Out of Memory Errors with DNF 

After running  dnf_aixtoolbox.sh -d  The following message shows a successful completion and a recommendation to update dnf.  

I get Out of Memory errors when I run dnf under AIX 7.3
I have a core dump available if needed. 

dnf installed successfully.
Please run 'dnf update' to update packages to the latest level.

Hi, really nice that we get rid of the old python2 stuff.
What I've seen so far is that "dnf repolist --verbose" mentions missing os-release file:

dnf repolist --verbose
DNF version: 4.2.17
cachedir: /var/cache/dnf
os-release file not found
os-release: falling back to basic User-Agent: missing NAME or VERSION_ID

Would it makes sense to have it and if yes, what should be filled in? All documentation I've seen so far points *surprise* to linux.

Hi Sangamesh,
Thank you for your quick reply. I'm  very happy to here your plan.

Hi Takashi,

Thanks for trying DNF and providing the feedback.
We might need to have createrepo_c which doesn't have dependency on yum.
We have already started working createrepo_c and will make createrepo_c soon available.

Thanks,
Sangamesh

After upgrade to dnf, createrepo does not work.
The createrepo command says following message . 
Is  yum.packages deprecated?
