# yum check

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/_rpmmodule.so.

        0509-150   Dependent module libdb.so could not be loaded.

        0509-150   Dependent module /opt/freeware/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rpm/_rpmmodule.so could not be loaded.

 

 

This was the libdb files before yum update:

Any idea how to fix this?

Hi there - the version 4-8 files are removed when the db version 6 is updated.  I will need to find them from another system.

Sorry, i overlooked it.

Also you can extract libd-4.8.so from this rpm package https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/db/db-4.8.24-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm

 

Thanks,

Thanks - once I found the libdb 4.8 .a and .so files and created the symbolic links then it's working properly now.

Might want to have a technote on this as other people are likely going to run into this same problem once the db v6 rpm update is applied.

As of now we removed db6 from the YUM repo to and from the download site to avoid this issue.

Once we correct it we will upload it again.

 

Thanks,

rpm2cpio <RPM> | cpio -idmv doesn't work.

Use the  /usr/linux/bin/cpio command which you can get it from cpio rpm packages.

I have the same problem as rowswell.  How do you extract files from the rpm.  The rpm command does not work at all?

I also try to use yum history to undo what I just installed that updated the libdb from 4.8 to 6.2.  Nothing works

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

   Could not load module /opt/freeware/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rpm/_rpm.so.
        Dependent module libdb.so could not be loaded.
Could not load module libdb.so.
System error: No such file or directory
Could not load module /opt/freeware/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rpm/_rpm.so.
        Dependent module /opt/freeware/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rpm/_rpm.so could not be loaded.

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:
2.7.13 (default, Oct 17 2017, 05:37:56) [C]

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

Please assist me as things are broke

THanks

Rowswell,  I'm curious how you installed the 4.8 libs, did you just copy them from another server?  The rpm command is totally broke.

Can you please send me a screen shot (long listing) of your re-lynced libs in /opt/freeware/lib.  Also, did you need to relync the libs in /usr/lib also?

Please advise.

THanks,
Kris

Hi Kris - I had another system (that I had not done "yum update" on) to copy these files:

 

libdb-4.8.a

libdb-4.8.la

libdb-4.8.so

 

Then I ran these commands:

root@jp_aixtst4:/opt/freeware/lib:# ln -s libdb-4.8.a libdb.a

 

root@jp_aixtst4:/opt/freeware/lib:# ln -s libdb-4.8.so libdb.so

 

Since then I have done other yum update and it's been fine now that the repackaged db package works.

Thank you.  this saved me.  I was updating my version of curl and when db-6.2.32-2.aix6.1.ppc.rpm was installed those libdb-4 links were removed.  luckily the files themselves were still there so I just had to recreate the links.
