  • 1.  dnf command fails to run and to install rpm packages, what to check?

    Posted Thu May 11, 2023 05:54 AM

    I am trying to install libjpeg and libpng on AIX 7.2 TL5 using dnf and getting the same errors. The dnf command is no longer working.  Any suggestions on what to check and how to fix this issue?

    # /opt/freeware/bin/dnf install libjpeg
    Could not load program /opt/freeware/bin/python3_32:
    Dependent module /oracle/app/product/19.3.0/dbhome_1/lib/libexpat.a(libexpat.so.1) could not be loaded.
    Member libexpat.so.1 is not found in archive

    #/opt/freeware/bin/dnf install libpng
    Could not load program /opt/freeware/bin/python3_32:

    It seems like you have LIBPATH exported to /oracle/app/product/19.3.0/dbhome_1/lib which has a libexpat.a file that doesn't seems to be an archive.
    Remember Toolbox dnf will work only with Toolbox packages. Setting system-wide LIBPATH will affect it's working.

    I added /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib and /opt/freeware/lib to the LIBPATH, but received a new error as seen below.

    # echo $LIBPATH
    /usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/opt/freeware/lib:/oracle/app/product/19.3.0/dbhome_1/lib32:/oracle/app/product/19.3.0/dbhome_1/lib:/fnsw/lib/shobj/tiv/lib

    #/opt/freeware/bin/dnf repolist
    Could not load program /opt/freeware/bin/python3_32:

    Examine .loader section symbols with the 'dump -Tv' command.
