Hello,
updating AIX from 7.2 TL4 to 7.2 TL5 SP7 caused Samba to stop working with below error on startup:
root@srvaps34 /etc/samba #/etc/rc.d/init.d/smbd start
Starting Samba smbd daemon... Could not load program /opt/freeware/sbin/smbd:
Dependent module libpopt.so could not be loaded.
Could not load module libpopt.so.
samba version is old :
root@srvaps35 /tmp #rpm -qa
samba-4.9.4-1.ppc
samba-winbind-clients-4.9.4-1.ppc
samba-winbind-devel-4.9.4-1.ppc
samba-python-4.9.4-1.ppc
samba-all-4.9.4-1.ppc
samba-common-4.9.4-1.ppc
samba-libs-4.9.4-1.ppc
samba-client-4.9.4-1.ppc
samba-winbind-4.9.4-1.ppc
samba-winbind-krb5-locator-4.9.4-1.ppc
samba-devel-4.9.4-1.ppc
popt-1.16-2.ppc
...
but I suspect the problem comes from the rpm.rte update, because under
AIX 7.2 TL4 : rpm.rte 4.13.0.11 C F RPM Package Manager
find / -name libpopt.so -print displays :
/opt/freeware/lib/libpopt.so
/usr/lib/libpopt.so
/usr/opt/rpm/lib/libpopt.so
and now under AIX 7.2 TL5 SP7 : rpm.rte 4.15.1.1011
the same command indicates only:
/opt/freeware/lib/libpopt.so
/usr/lib/libpopt.so
Is there a way to temporarily resolve this issue (before updating all the rpms by installing/using dnf) ?
Maybe adding some additionnal paths to PATH like /opt/freeware/lib ... ?
thank you in advance for your help
Michel
