  • 1.  Unable to upgrade sudo

    ​Hello,

    I am trying to upgrade the sudo rpm package on AIX 7.2 machine to avoid the new vulnerability however I am getting weird issue when I try to install with other dependencies. 

    Here's ex:-

    # rpm -Uvh sudo-1.9.5p2-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
    error: Failed dependencies:
            openldap >= 2.4.48-1 is needed by sudo-1.9.5p2-1.ppc
    # rpm -Uvh openldap-2.4.56-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
    error: Failed dependencies:
            libgcc >= 8.3.0-1 is needed by openldap-2.4.56-1.ppc
    # rpm -Uvh libgcc8-8.3.0-4.aix7.2.ppc.rpm
    error: Failed dependencies:
            libgcc <= 9.1.0 conflicts with libgcc8-8.3.0-4.ppc

    libgcc is the one I am not sure how to fix this. Can someone please help here. I have downloaded all the new libgcc packages but none of them are working.

    Thanks for the help.

    Do you have libgcc already installed ? 
    You can check with "rpm -qa" command. 
    If there is a higher version of libgcc installed then probably it should work and you need not to install libgcc.
    Just a caution that we have not published libgcc-9 from AIX toolbox and if it is from somewhere else then there is a possibility it may not work. 
    In that case you will have to remove existing libgcc and install the one from AIX toolbox. 
    I am not sure if you have only libgcc or gcc as well.
