  • 1.  Aix freetype package higher version than 1.3.1-9.ppc

    Posted Thu June 25, 2020 01:45 AM
    Hi

    When I am trying to install python in Aix server, I am getting the below error.

    #rpm --test -Uvh python-2.7.10-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm python-devel-2.7.10-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm gdbm-1.8.3-5.aix5.2.ppc.rpm libjpeg-6b-7.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
    Preparing... ################################# [100%]
    file /opt/freeware/64 from install of gdbm-1.8.3-5.ppc conflicts with file from package freetype-1.3.1-9.ppc
    file /opt/freeware/64/lib from install of gdbm-1.8.3-5.ppc conflicts with file from package freetype-1.3.1-9.ppc


    I searched for the package of freetype higher version  than "freetype-1.3.1-9.ppc", Please let us know if this package will find higher than  1.3.1-9.ppc

    Note : freetype-1.3.1-9.ppc is already installed in the server.

    There is no newer version of freetype, but we have freetype2 which doesn't own the /opt/freeware/64 paths.
    Which package is dependent on freetype ?
    force option in this can resolve this error. But let's try it if issue can be solved without that.

    Higdbm-1.8.3-5.aix5.2.ppc.rpm is the package dependent on freetype...If we try to install with force...will be there any conflict?

    Why don't you use yum to update packages ?

    Yes. YUM is always a better option to install any rpm packages.
    Running yum.sh would also give conflict error in this case as the freetype was installed already which conflicts with gdbm from yum bundle.
    If we update YUM bundle with latest packages then this conflict error won't appear.

    I don't think gdbm-1.8.3-5 is dependent on freetype.
    $ rpm -qpR https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/gdbm/gdbm-1.8.3-5.aix5.2.ppc.rpm
    libc.a(shr.o)

    file /opt/freeware/64/lib from install of gdbm-1.8.3-5.ppc conflicts with file from package freetype-1.3.1-9.ppc

    You are using very old version of these packages. gdbm-1.8.3-5 was published more than 10 years back and since then we have lot of newer versions of this package. Also there are newer version of python2 as well. The best way to resolve these dependencies are using YUM. We recommend to use YUM to install packages. Otherwise can you install later version of gdbm ?

    Thanks Sanket..

    Using the latest version of gdbm(gdbm-1.12-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm)  resoled the issue.
