The error message indicates a dependency conflict during a package update process. Here's how to address it:
Understanding the Error:
rpm-build-3.0.5-30.ppc
(package you're trying to update) requires:
/bin/bash2
(specific version of bash shell)
libpopt.so
(library)
- The system cannot install these dependencies because of conflicts with existing packages:
- Multiple versions of
bash
are installed, and they seem to be incompatible.
- Conflicting versions of
popt
library are present.
Solving the Issue:
There are three approaches you can take, depending on your risk tolerance and desired outcome:
-
Forcefully Replace Conflicting Packages (Risky):
- Use the
--allowerasing
flag with your package manager command. This forcefully removes conflicting packages to install the desired one (rpm-build
). However, this approach can potentially break other functionalities that relied on the removed packages. Use with caution!
-
Skip Broken Packages (Less Risky):
- Use the
--skip-broken
flag. This skips installing rpm-build
and any other packages that have unresolvable dependency conflicts. This leaves you with the current (potentially broken) state.
-
Find Compatible Versions (Recommended):
- This is the safest and most recommended approach. Investigate what
bash
and popt
versions are compatible with rpm-build-3.0.5-30.ppc
. You might need to search online for documentation or community forums specific to your package manager.
- Once you identify compatible versions, try updating
bash
and popt
to those specific versions before attempting to update rpm-build
. This ensures compatibility without risking breakage.
Additional Tips:
- Consider using a virtual environment if you're working with development tools like
rpm-build
. This isolates dependencies and prevents conflicts with system-wide packages.
- Consult your package manager's documentation for specific flags and options related to dependency resolution.
Remember, forcing package replacement should be a last resort. Analyze the situation and choose the approach that best suits your needs.

I have an SRC in Function 11 reading 286C3203. As I understand it, after reading the documentation, this points to a processor i/o error. These servers are not my wheelhouse at all, but I've been trying to troubleshoot this 9406-800 that is not displaying anything to the terminals.
The server powers on just fine, however, the yellow attention light is also powered. I've rebooted the server several times, reseated the components.
Does this usually point to a system board problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
