  • 1.  Issues with Ansible DNF module and python3

    Posted Thu October 14, 2021 12:52 PM
    Hello,

    We are in the midst of performing a rollout of migrating our yum client to DNF.
    This is the page we've referred to concerning the migration :

    https://community.ibm.com/community/user/power/communities/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?GroupId=6211&MessageKey=8c7b2f79-929d-47f2-999e-91e41188fce3&CommunityKey=10c1d831-47ee-4d92-a138-b03f7896f7c9&tab=digestviewer#bm8c7b2f79-929d-47f2-999e-91e41188fce3

    But after switching the package manager client, all Ansible playbooks and roles using either the yum module with a yum4/dnf backend or the dnf module return the following error :

    included: /opt/ansible/roles/shared-install_ips_pkg/tasks/install_dnf_ips_pkg.yml for admin-xt02-lp

    When looking into this, i've found multiple threads such as this one :

    I've tried reinstalling sqlite and bzip2, but the error remains
    This server has been upgraded to 7200-05-03-2136, so not the same level as mentioned in the thread but the problem is the same.
    The package manager works fine outside Ansible.

    Btw, python3-dnf is installed as part of the Yum->DNF migration

    Hi Davy,

    Were you able to run /opt/freeware/bin/python3_32 in the managed node where it is failing ?
    What is the the managed node output of ls -l /opt/freeware/lib/libsqlite3.so and rpm -qa | grep sqlite ?

    Hi Sangamesh,

    I can run /opt/freeware/bin/python3_32 and even import dnf on the managed node  :

    Python 3.7.11 (default, Sep 6 2021, 11:05:26)
    [GCC 8.3.0] on aix6
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> import dnf
    >>>

    But when running ansible :

    TASK [shared-install_ips_pkg : install dnf ips pkg] *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
    fatal: [admin-xt02-lp]: FAILED! => changed=false

    Hello Sangamesh,

    Due to the fact i could import the dnf module manually, i looked into which python interpreter was being used by ansible.
    That was /opt/freeware/bin/python3 which was linked to /opt/freeware/bin/python3_64.
    When i unlink python3 and relink it to python3_32, it works. So there's an issue there with 64bit lib compatibility.

    Hello Sangamesh,

    Are you aware of any actions we can take to make this work with the 64_bit python3 client ? Reverting to 32_bit is fine as a temporary solution but should not be required in my opinion...

    Hi Davy, 
    AIX 7.1 and 7.2 has 32bit rpm and its libraries and hence a 32bit dnf module can work.
    That is the reason we need to use 32bit python3. 
    Instead of changing the python3 link in /opt/freeware/bin you should change ansible module to use /opt/freeware/bin/python3_32.

    Hi Sanket.

    Ok. Thanks. That's pretty clear. One last question. Can we safely run the yum to dnf migration script provided by you

    https://community.ibm.com/community/user/power/blogs/sangamesh-mallayya1/2021/05/28/dnf-is-now-available-on-aix-toolbox?CommunityKey=10c1d831-47ee-4d92-a138-b03f7896f7c9&tab=recentcommunityblogsdashboard

    on our internal yum replica server of AIXToolbox or will this only work correctly on servers that are strictly yum clients ?
    Also, i was surprised to notice that dnf gets sets up using the yum-like repository.d directories and not a directory of it's own. Is this normal ?

    Hi Davy,

    Migrate script works if yum3(3.4.3) is installed and dnf history file is not yet created.
    The script is meant to migrate yum history and database to dnf.
    This part we handle it in our dnf install script itself while updating yum3 to yum4(dnf) along with dnf install with "-y" option.
    Still "dnf migrate" can be run separately if both yum3 and dnf is installed in a machine.

    yum-like repository is provided to have compatibility and familiar paths.
    When we move from yum to dnf and repository files present in those path can still be recognised by dnf.
