Hi,

It looks like you are something missing from your system. Do you have rpm.rte installed ? This then provides you with the ability to tell the rpm environment about what files AIX will provide to it rather than installing all the xxxx.rpm files.

Try the command

rpm -q AIX-rpm --provides

This should return

...

/bin/sh

/usr/bin/sh

...

libc.a(aio.o)

libc.a(aio_64.o)

...etc

Once this is rectified you should be good.

So in summary. Make sure rpm.rte and AIX-rpm are installed on the system then run

/usr/sbin/updtvpkg

Hope this helps

Phil P

Hi Phil,

Thank you for your help.

I applied the command as advised below this return

# rpm -q AIX-rpm --provides

package AIX-rpm is not installed

The package rpm is at the last level

Installation Summary

--------------------

Name            Level      Part    Event    Result

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

rpm.rte           4.15.1.3    USR     APPLY    SUCCESS

rpm.rte           4.15.1.3    ROOT    APPLY    SUCCESS

Thanks in advance

Hi,

You should be able to run the

/usr/sbin/updtvpkg

This should create the AIX-rpm virtual package, which in turn allows AIX to let the rpm system know which files it provides.

HTH

Thanks

Hi Phil,

I have tried /usr/sbin/updtvpkg but unfortunately it didn't work as you expected

# /usr/sbin/updtvpkg
