DNF Issue

  • 1.  DNF Issue

    Posted Thu November 23, 2023 05:09 PM

    Hi Ayappan,

    I got following error when trying to launch DNF. It was fine after Python 3.9 upgrade. The file /opt/freeware/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/libcomps/_libpycomps.so was there. Should I reinstall libcomps? But giving the situation dnf itself doesn't work, how can I reinstall it?

    Thanks

    Mi

    Generally "System error: Exec format error" comes when a 32bit application is trying to load a 64bit shared lib or the vice versa. There looks to be some mix up of 32bit & 64bit here which is causing the issue. 
    What is the AIX level here? 7.3 or 7.2/7.1 ? 
    In AIX 7.3, the whole dnf ecosystem is 64bit based as rpm itself( coming from rpm.rte) is 64bit. In AIX 7.1/7.2, it is 32bit as rpm itself is 32bit.

    Hi Ayappan and Mi Wang,

    same issue here:

    root@sap1nim:/opt/freeware/packages: dnf list installed
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/opt/freeware/bin/dnf", line 58, in <module>

    System error: Exec format error
    Examine .loader section symbols with the 'dump -Tv' command.
    root@sap1nim:/opt/freeware/packages:


    I checked the libint wether its 32 or 64bit:

    /opt/freeware/packages: dump -ov /usr/opt/rpm/lib/libintl.a | grep -i agic
    Magic = 0x1df  (32-bit XCOFF)
    maxSTACK    maxDATA     SNbss       magic       modtype
    Magic = 0x1df  (32-bit XCOFF)
    maxSTACK    maxDATA     SNbss       magic       modtype

    so we have a 32-bit libintl.a - probably explains failing ImportError: Symbol resolution failed for /opt/freeware/lib64/libkrb5support.so

    Now try to find out where libintl.a comes from:

    root@sap1nim:/opt/freeware/packages: lslpp -w /usr/opt/rpm/lib/libintl.a
      File                                        Fileset               Type
      ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
      /usr/opt/rpm/lib/libintl.a                  rpm.rte               File

    seems I need a 64-bit rpm - any suggestions how to deal with that?

    Regards Stefan

    Hi Stefan,

    libintl.a ship both 32 & 64-bit libintl.so.8 and rpm is 64-bit by default 

    # file /usr/opt/rpm/bin/rpm
    /usr/opt/rpm/bin/rpm: 64-bit XCOFF executable or object module not stripped

    # ar -X32_64 -tv /usr/opt/rpm/lib/libintl.a
    rwxr-xr-x     0/0      93228 Jun 19 12:55 2023 libintl.so.8

    Do you have any LIBPATH set still ?

    Hi SANGAMESH / Ayappan,

    We have AIX 7.2 installed. But even I set LIBPATH to have only one folder /opt/freeware/lib, running dnf still gave the same error (it tried to access the library under /opt/freeware/lib64). Some setup issue?

    Thanks

    AIX 7.2 dnf should be invoking 32bit python3. Can you verify that ? 
    what is the output of "head -1 $(which dnf)" ?

    Hi Ayappan,

    Please find the command run result:

    $ head -1 $(which dnf)
    #!/opt/freeware/libexec/python3.9_32

    Thanks

    Hello Ayappan,

    Can you please provide steps to fix this? By the way, this is FYI - we have this issue only with our DEV servers which have Python 3.9.17. Meantime, our PAT servers have the exact same Python installation (just different version: Python 3.9.18) and they don't have this type issue.

    Thanks

    Mi

    /opt/freeware/libexec/python3.9_32 is a 32bit python which will not search in /opt/freeware/lib64/python3.9/site-packages. Can you verify that it is indeed 32bit binary ?

    # file /opt/freeware/libexec/python3.9_32
    /opt/freeware/libexec/python3.9_32: executable (RISC System/6000 V3.1) or obj module not stripped

    I don't see any reason why 32bit python is trying to load the 64bit libcomps module. Do you have PYTHONPATH set ? If so, unset it and try again
