  • 1.  dnf not working after dnf update.

    Posted Tue May 14, 2024 01:12 PM

    I Downloaded and ran the installer for DNF:   dnf_aixtoolbox.sh

    I then ran a dnf update. 

    Afterwards I get the following:  

    # dnf 
    exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /opt/freeware/libexec/python3.9_32 because of the following errors:
            0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for /opt/freeware/lib/libpython3.9.a(libpython3.9.so) because:
            0509-136   Symbol _GLOBAL__AIXI_libintl_so (number 283) is not exported from
                       dependent module /usr/opt/rpm/lib/libintl.a(libintl.so.8).
            0509-136   Symbol _GLOBAL__AIXD_libintl_so (number 284) is not exported from

    # 

    I do not have a LIBPATH set.

    # oslevel -s

    Please help me find the issue.

    Thanks!!!

    Hi Scott,

    This happened because those two symbols are not there in that libintl. We have a /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a which will have these symbols.


    First check if /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a exists.

     

    If it exists and still does not work then,

     

    Can you try

    export LIBPATH="/opt/freeware/lib"

    Do a "dnf install gettext"

     

    This should get the libintl.

    Can you do a "dnf update" after that
    Then unset the LIBPATH..

     

    dnf update should work after this.

     

    Let us know if it still does not work

    Hi, 

    Thank you very much for your response!  With that information I re-installed gettext and then a few other packages that dnf reported afterwards and was able to get it working.

    I had to ultimately re-install the following to get dnf working:

    rpm -Uvh --reinstall gettext-0.21-2.aix7.1.ppc.rpm
    rpm -Uvh --reinstall bzip2-1.0.8-2.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
    rpm -Uvh --reinstall sqlite-3.41.2-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm 
    rpm -Uvh --reinstall pysqlite-2.8.3-2.aix6.1.ppc.rpm

    Not sure why they were in the state they were in, but they are fixed now.

    Thanks!

    Scott,
