  • 1.  Problems with first time YUM installation

    Posted Tue September 21, 2021 12:52 AM
    Hello,

    I am trying to install YUM on AIX 7.2 TL4 SP3 for the first time on a system that has LPAR2RRD installed on it.  When trying to install glib2-2.14.6-2.aix5.2.ppc.rpm. I get the following errors:

    # /usr/bin/rpm -Uvh glib2-2.14.6-2.aix5.2.ppc.rpm
    error: Failed dependencies:
    libgio-2.0.a(libgio-2.0.so.0) is needed by (installed) librsvg2-2.34.2-1.ppc - librsvg2-2.34.2-1.ppc
    libgio-2.0.a(libgio-2.0.so.0) is needed by (installed) gtk2-2.20.1-2.ppc - gtk2-2.20.1-2.ppc

    glib2 >= 2.22.5 is needed by (installed) rrdtool-1.4.8-2.ppc - rrdtool-1.4.8-2.ppc

    All of the other packages install fine.  However, when I try to run yum (e.g. "yum repolist") I get the following error:

    # yum repolist
    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/libglib-2.0.a(libglib-2.0.so.0).
    0509-150 Dependent module /usr/lib/libiconv.a(libiconv.so.2) could not be loaded.
    0509-152 Member libiconv.so.2 is not found in archive
    0509-022 Cannot load module /opt/freeware/lib/python2.7/site-packages/_sqlitecache.so.
    0509-150 Dependent module /opt/freeware/lib/libglib-2.0.a(libglib-2.0.so.0) 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:
    2.7.10 (default, Jun 22 2016, 05:57:59) [C]

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

    What am I missing, and what do I need to do to correct?

    Cheers, Richard

    What is the need to install a very old version of glib2 ? Looks like the system already has newer glib2 installed. All these packages work together , so going back to a very old version will break things. That is what is shown in the rpm error. 
    For the yum error, please check whether you have any LIBPATH exported. We don't recommend to set any LIBPATH. Also please update the python version (2.7.10 is very old) and then try yum. If still facing issues, share the "rpm -qa" output here.

    Ayappan - Thank you for your rapid response!

    I do not have "LIBPATH" set, the command "set | grep LIB" returns nothing.

    Looks like the system has lot of rpms at different level. Manually updating them will be a huge effort. 
    So I would suggest to fix yum first. You can try forcefully installing glib2-2.14.6-2.aix5.2.ppc.rpm and then check whether yum is working or not. 
    rpm -Uvh --force glib2-2.14.6-2.aix5.2.ppc.rpm 

    And also openssl rpm is installed which might create problem. If possible , you can remove it and have only openssl lpp fileset installed.
