dnf and rpm destroyed after updating from AIX 7.3.1.3 to AIX 7.3.2.1

  • 1.  dnf and rpm destroyed after updating from AIX 7.3.1.3 to AIX 7.3.2.1

    Posted Thu November 16, 2023 08:02 AM

    Hi,

    after updating from AIX 7.3.1.3 to actual 7.3.2.1 I experience following issue:

    /opt/freeware/packages: rpm -qa
    warning: Found bdb_ro Packages database while attempting sqlite backend: using bdb_ro backend.
    error: /opt/freeware/packages/Packages: unsupported hash version 7
    error: could not open /opt/freeware/packages/Packages: No such file or directory
    error: cannot open Packages index using bdb_ro - Not owner (1)
    error: cannot open Packages database in /opt/freeware/packages

    same with dnf which isn't functional anymore:

    /opt/freeware/packages: dnf list installed
    Failed to set locale, defaulting to C
    warning: Found bdb_ro Packages database while attempting sqlite backend: using bdb_ro backend.
    error: /var/lib/rpm/Packages: unsupported hash version 7
    error: could not open /var/lib/rpm/Packages: No such file or directory
    error: cannot open Packages index using bdb_ro - Not owner (1)
    error: cannot open Packages database in

    any suggestions? 

    I tried rpmdb --rebuilddb - fails with above error.

    tried to reconfigure dnf with ./dnf_aixtoolbox.sh
    warning: Found bdb_ro Packages database while attempting sqlite backend: using bdb_ro backend.
    error: /opt/freeware/packages/Packages: unsupported hash version 7..

    So actually there is no working rpm / dnf on my aix box ..

    Hope somebody experienced sth similar.

    Regards

    Stefan

    hmm...just looked on my recently updated nim server, something changed significantly in /opt/freeware/packages after newest aix update.

    latest aix:

    root@nimvie: /opt/freeware/packages # ls -ltr
total 67344
-rw-r--r--    1 root     system            0 Nov 16 07:24 .rpm.lock

-rw-r--r--    1 root     system        32768 Nov 16 14:14 rpmdb.sqlite-shm

    older aix:

    dnf and rpm commands are still working here...

    from the release notes:

    RPM package manager (RPM)

Starting with AIX 7.3 Technology level 2, the RPM version is upgraded to 4.18.1. The RPM version 4.18.1 uses sqlite3 library package as a database backend instead of the db library package and is built with OpenSSL instead of nss and nspr library packages. The nss, nspr, and db library packages are removed from the AIX base image as these library packages were used internally and are no longer needed. You can get the nss, nspr, and db library packages from the AIX toolbox if required.

    this explains a lot

    maybe your rpm.rte is downlevel or something like that.

    root@nimvie: /opt/freeware/packages # lslpp -l | grep rpm
  rpm.rte                4.18.1.2001  COMMITTED  RPM Package Manager
  rpm.rte                4.18.1.2001  COMMITTED  RPM Package Manager

    Hi C- -T,

    thanks for your investigative job :-) 

    Unfortunately rpm isn't downlevel:

    sap1nim:/opt: lslpp -l | grep rpm
      rpm.rte                4.18.1.2001  COMMITTED  RPM Package Manager
      rpm.rte                4.18.1.2001  COMMITTED  RPM Package Manager

    Probably its sqlite which causes the problem - there is an old relic:

    root@sap1nim:/opt: lslpp -l | grep sql
      pware53.mysql.rte         5.0.45.0  COMMITTED  MySQL 5.0.45
      pware53.sqlite.rte         3.5.2.0  COMMITTED  SQLite 3.5.2

    I try to get rid of the filesets. I am going to boot original rootvg disk and try to remove all this old stuff, before running alt_disk_copy again.

    Regards

    Stefan

    Hello 

     

     I have similar issue, We are migrating from AIX 7.1 to AIX 7.3 with nimadm, After migrating we execute the DNF installation that migrates from yum to DNF (dnf_aixtoolbox.sh -y).
     
    with TL01 there are no problems with TL02 the migration fails
     
    warning: Found bdb_ro Packages database while attempting sqlite backend: using bdb_ro backend.
    error: Failed dependencies:
            librpm.a(librpm.so.9) is needed by libdnf-0.39.1-64_5.ppc

            librpmsign.a(librpmsign.so.9) is needed by rpm-python3.9-4.15.1-64_4.ppc
     
    To solve in AIX 7.3 TL02 we have downgrade the rpm.rte level to rpm.rte 04.15.0001.2009, we run dnf_aixtoolbox.sh -y again and it works, after finishing, we update the package to rpm.rte 4.18.1.2001 (TL02SP1) 
    warning: Converting database from bdb_ro to sqlite backend

    Hello Luis,

    thanks for your hint - - we managed to fix it like described in Posting 11 (by  Sangamesh) in this thread.

    Hi Luis,

    The steps mentioned in the post 12 can be used if we see that issue with rpm database migration using nimadm.

    There is one issue with 4.18.1.2001 related to nimadm and rpm database migration which is fixed in 4.18.1.2002.

    We will be uploading fixed version in web download site soon.

    Hi Stefan,

    Please paste the output of "ls /opt/freeware/packages"

    And you would be having previous database saved to /opt/freeware/lib/oldrpm4db.

    Please save these to other location before doing any operation.

    If possible can you send the files present in /opt/freeware/lib/oldrpm4db ?

    Hi Sangamesh,

    thanks for your message - unfortunately I tried to restore old rpm db with tsm so /opt/freeware/packages is a mix of old/new world. 

    I didn't realize how active and supportive this community is. Thought I have to help myself with dnf.

    I don't want to waste your energy - my suggestion is:

    Booting the server from the old_rootvg and trying to remove fragments of an old pware sqllite package.
    root@sap1nim:/opt/freeware/lib/oldrpm4db/rpmdb: lslpp -l | grep sqlit
      pware53.sqlite.rte         3.5.2.0  COMMITTED  SQLite 3.5.2

    and trying to run the update to 7.3.2 again.

    Regards Stefan

    Hi Sangamesh, 

    sorry for the delay in my reply. Thought I'd probably be able to fix the issue on my own. So what I did:

    a) went back to AIX 7.3.1.2 and removed the old pware sqlite packages.

    b) /usr/sbin/alt_disk_copy -I acNgXY -P all -l /public/aix/73/7300-02 -F update_all -d hdisk1 

    Here I've noticed the following in the log: (see attaced file output rpm update.txt)


        and rebooted with hdisk1

    c) tried the dnf command - dnf list repo and posted my last message.

    Unfortunately I noticed a few minutes later that rpm -qla still causes this error:

    rpm -qroot@sap1nim:/root: rpm -qla
    warning: Found bdb_ro Packages database while attempting sqlite backend: using bdb_ro backend.
    error: /opt/freeware/packages/Packages: unsupported hash version 7
    error: could not open /opt/freeware/packages/Packages: No such file or directory
    error: cannot open Packages index using bdb_ro - Not owner (1)
    error: cannot open Packages database in /opt/freeware/packages

    and here the actually packages directory listing.

    Hi Stefan,

    It looks like the you first had an rpm.rte-3.0.5 and then to rpm.rte-4.15.x and an TL update.

    Can you run this below command **After taking necessary backup** of existing database files present in /opt/freeware/packages path and check if rpm -qla works after that.

    LIBPATH=/usr/opt/rpm/old_rpmdb/lib:/usr/opt/rpm/lib:/usr/lib \
                    /usr/opt/rpm/old_rpmdb/bin/rpmdb --rebuilddb --rcfile=/usr/opt/rpm/old_rpmdb/rpmrc"

    And then if above command is successful then run this command "/usr/bin/rpmdb --rebuilddb"

    Hi Sangamesh,

    great tip - worked fine:

    root@sap1nim:/usr/opt/rpm: LIBPATH=/usr/opt/rpm/old_rpmdb/lib:/usr/opt/rpm/lib:/usr/lib /usr/opt/rpm/old_rpmdb/bin/rpmdb --rebuilddb --rcfile=/usr/opt/rpm/old_rpmdb/rpmrc

    Next conversion to sqlite

    dnf still has an issue: (see dnf-issue.txt) - but I guess I'll try to fix it on my own first.

    Thank you so much - happy to have my rpm's back .. 

    Regards Stefan

    Hi Stefan,

    You can have a look at this post to get some background on the dnf error.

    Hi Sangamesh,

     

    thanks for the hint:

     

    seems I have a 32-bit rpm – see my attached file – dnf-issue.txt

     

    Regards from Kassel

    Hi Sangamesh

    AFter updating  AIX 7.3 -> From 7300-01-02-2320 To 7300-02-01-2346,we got rpm error as below

     
    exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /usr/opt/rpm/bin/rpm because of the following errors:
            0509-022 Cannot load module /usr/opt/rpm/lib64/librpmio.a(librpmio.so.9).
            0509-150   Dependent module /opt/freeware/lib/libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.3) could not be loaded.
            0509-152   Member libcrypto.so.3 is not found in archive

    ,we are not able to run ------------------rpm -qa 

    so,i followed this workaround ,after that it works 

     cd  /opt/freeware/lib
     
      ls -ltr libcrypto.a*
      mv libcrypto.a libcrypto.a.bk
    Please let me know if we have any other procedure to solve rpm issue
    Thanks

    Hi Sridhar,

    The presence of /opt/freeware/lib/libcrypto.a would cause other issues with DNF and we recommend users to delete openssl rpm package.

    Though this is the one action user needs to take, we also see if we can remove the /opt/freeware/lib search path from the /usr/opt/rpm/bin/rpm

    Goodday Stefan

    I came across your post as we have the same issue now.

    We first run rpm --rebuilddb and them updtvpkg. (this seems to get rid of warning: Found bdb_ro Packages database while attempting sqlite backend: using bdb_ro backend.)

    This does not fix DNF though.

    We found downloading the new dnfbundle73 from aix toolbox and re-installing DNF works.

    It seems there are packages specific to AIX 7.3 now.

    Hope this helps someone as much as it helped us.

    Regards

    Anwar
