  • 1.  Yum check error : libXpm-3.5.10-1.ppc has missing requires of AIX-rpm

    Posted Thu April 22, 2021 11:29 AM
    Hello,
    YUM is successfully installed on our AIX 7.2 LPAR adcci063.
    The YUM CHECK command returns the error below :
    adcci063(root) /tmp/yum_deploiement # yum check
    libXpm-3.5.10-1.ppc has missing requires of AIX-rpm < ('0', '6.1.0.0', None)
    Error: check all

    Installed Packages
    libXpm.ppc 3.5.10-1 installed
    adcci063(root) /tmp/yum_deploiement #

    How can we solve this error ? We can see the libXpm package is not avallable in the IBM AIX TOOLBOX.
    We thank you very much for your help,
    Nicolas

    From where did you install libXpm-3.5.10-1.ppc 
    I don't think this is delivered from AIX toolbox. 
    Looks like the dependency for this rpm is not satisfied. This rpm was probably built for lower level of AIX.
    You can verify by running following command. It will show what level of AIX-rpm is needed and then you can verify what level of AIX-rpm you have.

    #rpm -qR libXpm-3.5.10-1.ppc

    ​#rpm -qi AIX-rpm

    If this rpm is not needed then you can remove otherwise install the correct version.

    Hello Sanket,

    Thank you for your answer, you are right , this rpm doesnt come from AIX toolbox (we dont know where it come from, old server, and who installed it) :

    adcci063(root) /home/kaplin # rpm -qR libXpm-3.5.10-1.ppc
    xorg-compat-aix
    AIX-rpm < 6.1.0.0
    libX11.a(shr4.o)
    libc.a(shr.o)




    adcci063(root) /home/kaplin # rpm -qi AIX-rpm
    Name : AIX-rpm
    Version : 7.2.4.0

    Summary : Virtual Package for libraries and shells installed on system
    Description :
    This package contains no files. It is a package which contains
    information about shared libraries and shell interpreters installed

    We need to check with others teams if we can remove the rpm.

    Thank you again

    Have a nice day

    For those that encounter issues with libXpm, libXpm is provided by the LPP package X11.base.lib
