Greetings All!
I am following the well documented steps written by Sangamesh to get DNF working after I upgraded AIX 7.2 to AIX 7.3. However, I am getting the below dependency error. Has anyone seen this or have any suggestions on how to resolve? Thanks!

error: Failed dependencies:
libncurses.so is needed by rpmlibs32-4.15.1.0-32_3.ppc
dnf installation failed.
If the failure was due to a space issue, increase the size of /opt and re-run the script again.
Another reason for failure could be mixing of Toolbox packages and packages from other sources.
You can try installing the downloaded dnf packages from /tmp/dnf-20240202154812 manually.
