Updating rpm to rpm.rte.4.15.1.2009 on several servers so I can update dnf and run updtvpkg after.  2 worked one did not.  Not sure what happened to this one?  As far as I know dnf was working fine before this but dnf update may have been run before rpm was installed some weeks ago producing error that led me to updating rpm, I can not remember.

I fixed the first issue with updtvpkg by relinking install-info to install-info64 

I verified against a working 7.3

[/usr/opt/freeware/bin] # ls -l install*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     system           29 Sep 26 14:02 install-info -> /usr/opt/rpm/bin/install-info
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     system           15 May 10 2022  install-info.rpmsave -> install-info_64
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     system       904198 Feb 08 2021  install-info_32
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     system       140314 Feb 08 2021  install-info_64

I fixed the rest by attempting to install the files that failed, removing conflicting files with --nodeps and then installing the files it thought it needed.. eventually getting dnf update to run and dnf check to run clean.. so it is fixed till it breaks the next time I try and update it ..
