  • 1.  Need help to upgrade my sudo to sudo_noldap-1.9.5p2-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm

    Posted Mon March 01, 2021 01:13 AM
    My old server is running at sudo-1.8.15-1noldap.ppc. Now it is vulnerable, I am asked to upgrade sudo_to noldap-1.9.5p2-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm. I downloaded the rpm. But got dependency errors:

       # rpm -Uvh sudo_no*
       error: Failed dependencies:
       gettext >= 0.19.8.1 is needed by sudo_noldap-1.9.5p2-1.ppc
       zlib >= 1.2.11-1 is needed by sudo_noldap-1.9.5p2-1.ppc
       sudo conflicts with sudo_noldap-1.9.5p2-1.ppc

    I tried installed gettext and zlib. I could get zlib installed. But gettext got error again. Search this website, there is a suggestion to install "libstdc++8-8.3.0-4.ppc" which I did. But I still can't get gettext installed. Can someone help ?

       # rpm -qa
       screen-3.9.10-2.ppc
       sudo-1.8.15-1noldap.ppc

    As output suggests you will have to install all the dependencies. 
     glib2, libgcc, libiconv, libunistring, libxml2, ncurses etc.
    The best way to install rpms from AIX toolbox is using yum as on any other rpm based system.

    That means the "sudo_noldap-1.9.5p2-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm" does need "a lot" of dependencies. That is a big different than the old "sudo-1.8.15-1noldap.ppc" which doesn't require dependencies. Is it correct?

    Yes lot of dependent packages have changed and added new functionalities.
    Also now we are building packages with gcc hence gcc libraries are other new dependencies.
