    AIX 7.1/7.2 migration to 7.3 will make dnf not to work as such. 
    We have this blog here which explains the reason and list the steps to make it work --> https://community.ibm.com/community/user/power/blogs/sangamesh-mallayya1/2022/01/10/aix-migration-with-dnf?CommunityKey=10c1d831-47ee-4d92-a138-b03f7896f7c9

    this steps are done of course...the error comes up during dnf migration AFTER 7.2 -> 7.3 upgrade.

    I am not sure whether the steps are properly followed or not.
    Because "updtvpkg" would have updated the virtual rpm "AIX-rpm" to 7.3.0.0 & the first error should not have come.
    For the second error, the libdnf.a from the bundle is not referencing these symbols. So looks like llbdnf rpm is updated somehow manually in the machine.

    Check that the repolist shows the AIX_Toolbox of the current AIX version.

    //usr/bin/oslevel -s
    7200-05-04-2220

    dnf repolist
    repo id                                                         repo name
    AIX_Toolbox                                                     AIX generic repository
    AIX_Toolbox_72                                                  AIX 7.2 specific repository
    AIX_Toolbox_noarch                                              AIX noarch repository

    You can manually update the repolist at /opt/freeware/etc/dnf/dnf.conf.

    AIX-rpm is a virtual rpm package, not a real one, it should not be in any toolbox repo.

    It's created by running:  updtvpkg
