Migrating to python3.9 for AIX Toolbox python3 ecosystem

    This post gives an information on what changes will be introduced and what steps users have to take when we upload packages built
     with python3.9 for which python3.9 will be the default python3.

    We are hoping to upload all python modules built with python3.9 in couples of weeks.


    Introduction

    Currently on AIX Toolbox python3 based packages are built with python 3.7.

    Python 3.7 will be EOL in June 2023. https://www.python.org/downloads/

    Hence it is necessary to move to supported python3 version for AIX Toolbox packages.

    The default python3

    The AIX Toolbox default python3 is python3-3.7. Along with this we have python3.9-3.9 as well.

    Till now users who wants to use python3.9 needed to install it separately either with "dnf install python3.9" or by manually using rpm install command "rpm -ivh python3.9 …."

    But now default python3 will be python3.9 instead of python3-3.7.

    Because of this now when user will run "dnf update", python3.9 along with any other python3 modules (installed from AIX toolbox) or python3 based packages installed (dnf, ninja-build, git, gdb etc) will be update to python3.9 based builds. It is recommended to run "dnf update" instead of updating individual packages.

    python3, python3-devel, python3-idle, python3-test, python3-tkinter rpms are now meta-packages that ships default binaries like python3, python3-config, pydoc3, etc. which are actually symlinks to python3.9, python3.9-config, pydoc3.9, etc. provided by python3.9 rpms.
    These meta packages have dependencies on actual python packages those supplies the binaries and libraries. Users are recommended to install meta-packages through dnf and implicitly main python3 packages will be installed.

    We have rebuilt all our python3 modules with python3.9.


    Other issues fixed along with python3.9 rebuilds

    Earlier we had an issue with python3 and runtime linking.

    This also exposed the issues in rpm.rte and runtime linking.

    Overall, this was causing issues with DNF, and breaking DNF itself where users had to fix it by manually downloading some of the rpms from AIX Toolbox.

    This has been explained in detail in this forum post  Recent DNF and YUM issues with newer python3 and curl builds

    Users action

    To get all of these latest changes users can run "dnf update".  Don't try to update the package individually it recommended to run DNF update.

    But before running any DNF commands one needs update rpm.rte to latest version.

    We have rebuilt rpm.rte to remove runtime linking and rebuilt DNF and dependencies against this newly rebuilt rpm.rte. DNF dependencies now links to rpm.rte provided archive libraries (.a) instead of directly linking to .so libraries.

    To avoid errors related to missing librpm*.a libraries one needs to update rpm.rte first.

    You can download latest rpm.rte versions from AIX web download site.
    https://www.ibm.com/resources/mrs/assets?source=aixbp

    For AIX 7.1 and 7.2: Download and install rpm.rte-4.15.1.1010

    For AIX 7.3: Download and install rpm.rte-4.15.1.2009

    DNF bundle update

    DNF bundle will be updated to include rebuilt DNF python3 modules with python3.9 and an updated rpm.rte.

    So, when setting up the DNF using the install script, it tries to update to the latest rpm.rte first and then install the required rpm packages.

    Custom Python3 Modules

    If a user has built and installed python3 modules (with python3.7) on their own outside AIX toolbox then those modules will not be migrated to python3.9. User will have to reinstall them separately for python3.9.

    Summary

    From a user perspective there is not much work to migrate to python3.9. One just need to install latest rpm.rte from AIX web download link mentioned above (if not already at latest) and run "dnf update" to get the latest python3.9 ecosystem. Or if you are setting up first time dnf environment then just install latest rpm.rte and then install dnf with the AIX toolbox dnf install script.

    Hello SANGAMESH,

    I have the following questions:

    1. Is the above mentioned python 3.9 actually python 3.9.16 that has been discussed previously in the community?
    2. Is the new python 3.9 64bit based, or it has dual runtime executables for both 32bit and 64bit, like python3.7?
    3. As we don't have internet for our AIX servers, can we download the new AIX Toolbox repository from a machine with internet and copy it to the AIX servers?

    Thanks

    Mi

     It is recommended to run "dnf update" instead of updating individual packages.

    sorry, but this is not possible in an controlled enterprise environment. we have a very tight list of allowed packages and versions, updating all packages in that way is just  out of question. you need to provide detailed descriptions how to upgrade the individual python3 packages.

    This is done because python 3.7 is going out of support.

    We cannot continue with python that is out of support and python-packages those are dependent on that.

    I think your environment also would not like to have such packages those are no more supported by communities and suspectable for vulnerabilities (no fix will be released by community)

    you missunderstood, i am fine with the 3.9 migration but you can not expect a forced "dnf update" which updates ALL installed packages, therefore a documentation of upgrading ONLY the python3 packages is needed. this  will lead to serious problems in an production environment.

    Apart from python3 there is another change which is moving packages to openssl 1.1.1.

    As openssl 1.0.2 has also gone out of support and hence packages those are using openssl 1.0.2 also needs to be updated.

    Now with all this if there are some packages using openssl 1.0.2 and some are using newer version and both of those packages needed by dnf then sometime there will be problem.

    It is because the way older python and other packages are built. This was discovered recently and hence we have modified build of python3 and other packages and moved all pakages to openssl 1.1.1

    Hence we are recommending to upgrade everything otherwise people might miss some important packages and face issues.

    But if you really need list of packages that has to be updated we might be able to provide list and if you have them then just update them.

     

    Thanks,

    as whoever is building the openssl filesets must be hit by the stroke of genius, there are TWO tastes of the openssl 1.1.1.X fileset...

    lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     system           18 Jun 30 2022  latest -> openssl-1.1.1.1201
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     system          256 Oct 06 2022  openssl-1.1.1.1202
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     system          256 Mar 13 14:57 openssl-1.1.2.1201

    as we were bitten by this nonsense more than once , i better ask before touching anything here. which one of the two versions are you using to build/link your packages?

    For AIX Toolbox package builds, we use openssl 1.1.2.X. This version of openssl has no weak ciphers support, so applications can't use weak/deprecated APIs. Packages built against this 1.1.2.X library will also work with openssl 1.1.1.X. But the reverse is not true.

    Hi, 

    My systems are in the exact same situation as C--T's systems, so I will require to upgrade a couple of packages.

    Could you provide us documentation to upgrade single packages?

    Users who don't want to do a total "dnf update" , they can do just "dnf update dnf python3". This will only update dnf ( & its dependencies) and python3. 
    python3 will be migrated from 3.7.X to 3.9.X. We now have python3.7 rpm in the Toolbox which will automatically get installed in the process. So the system now will be having python3.9 & python3.7 rpms and python3 refers to python3.9.

    Hi SANGAMESH,

    Based on your information, I assume we can now download the new Toolbox repository (big file) in the same way as that with previous repository with python 3.7? What is the repository file name for the new one? (the name for the old one is ESD-Toolbox_for_Linux_Apps_Common_7.1-7.3_122022_LKT010325.tar.gz) My another question is: does the new python 3.9.16 have both 32 bit mode and 64 bit mode?

    Thanks

    Hello Sangamesh, hello Team,

    I just tried to dnf update on one of our test systems. It is not working that way. Some dependencies are preventing the update...

    We are using Salt for managing our system and the salt version in the AIX toolbox depends on Python3.7m. Therefore we need urgent an updated version of salt...

    We are starting the migration of our environment in about three weeks and I would'nt like to have a unsupported version of python installed.
    Is it planned to update salt from your side? Do you have a time frame for the release?

    Many thanks in advance.
    best regards,
    Joerg

    just found out... salt is not the only package that is not available for sync or on the toolbox website. I found them directly on the https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS website.
    Maybe createrepo did not correctly work on your repo?

    Hi Sangamesh,

    Can you please respond to my previous questions? In addition, I have the following 3 questions as well:

    1. Once we install python 3.9.16, can we remove python 3.7.12?
    2. In the AIX Toolbox site (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/aix-toolbox-open-source-software-downloads-alpha) now all python 3.9.16 updated packages are there and they become the default python3 packages?
    3. When IBM can provide the list for all python 3.9.16 updated packages (it seems the new python 3.9.16 updated repository won't be available)?.

    Thanks

  • 27.  RE: Migrating to python3.9 for AIX Toolbox python3 ecosystem

    Posted Thu June 22, 2023 11:00 AM

    Hello,
    Why to run DNF the python3.9 is used from /opt/freeware/libexec/python3.9_32 and not from /opt/freeware/bin/python3.9 ?
    This causes me a problem with the chef-client software and resource dnf_package which by default uses binary python3 which is a link to /opt/freeware/bin/python3.9 but dnf module imported in /opt/freeware/bin/python3.9 ends with errors:

    $ /opt/freeware/bin/python3
    Python 3.9.16 (main, Apr  5 2023, 02:48:48)
    [GCC 10.3.0] on aix
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> import dnf
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
      File "/opt/freeware/lib/python3.9/site-packages/dnf/__init__.py", line 32, in <module>
        import dnf.base
      File "/opt/freeware/lib/python3.9/site-packages/dnf/base.py", line 29, in <module>
        import libdnf.transaction
      File "/opt/freeware/lib/python3.9/site-packages/libdnf/__init__.py", line 3, in <module>
        from . import common_types
      File "/opt/freeware/lib/python3.9/site-packages/libdnf/common_types.py", line 13, in <module>
        from . import _common_types
    ImportError: Could not load module /opt/freeware/lib/python3.9/site-packages/libdnf/_common_types.so.
    System error: Exec format error

    Will it be changed somehow i the future ? will it stay that /opt/freeware/libexec/pythone3.9_32 will be used for DNF?
    What is the difference between python3 in /opt/freeware/libexec from that in /opt/freeware/bin ? except it's 32bit. One solution to my problem is symbolic link python3  to /opt/freeware/libexec/python3 but it's probably not the best idea.

    Regards,
    Kamil

    Hello SANGAMESH,

    You mentioned "Our repo data information is already updated with python3.9". Does that mean if we download again the repo file 'ESD-Toolbox_for_Linux_Apps_Common_7.1-7.3_122022_LKT010325.tar.gz' now, we will get the new repository file containing all python 3.9.16 updated packages?

    Thanks

    Hi Mi,

    Okay. The repository you created with toolbox iso/tar.gz you won't be having latest updated python3.9.

    Image is update mostly once in 6 months. Next updated image will have python3.9 and other updated packages.

    We will check if we can have some other way so that repo created with iso/tar.gz also possible to have latest updates.

    The default python3 is always 64bit in python3.7 & python3.9 and going to be like that in the future also.

    In AIX 7.1 & 7.2 , rpm.rte package is a 32bit build and hence the dnf is also 32bit. So if you want to import dnf modules through python3, then you have to use 32bit python3 which is "/opt/freeware/libexec/python3.9_32". 

    The reason for putting the 32bit binaries in /opt/freeware/libexec/ is to encourage the users to use only 64bit python3 available in /opt/freeware/bin and prevent the usage of 32bit python3 as much as possible.

    Hello Ayappan,
    I have updated the modules "dnf" to version "4.2.17" and Python to "3.9.16".
    Now when I run a playbook with "dnf" I get an error:

    "Could not import the dnf python module using /opt/freeware/bin/python3 (3.9.16 (main, Apr  5 2023, 02:48:48) [GCC 10.3.0]). Please install `python3-dnf` or `python2-dnf` package or ensure you have specified the correct ansible_python_interpreter. (attempted ['/usr/libexec/platform-python', '/usr/bin/python3', '/usr/bin/python2', '/usr/bin/python'])"

    I had to customize the playbook:
    Set "ansible_python_interpreter: /opt/freeware/libexec/python3".

    Question: Which component is not yet 64bit capable?

    We are using AIX 7.2.

    Thanks,
    Antonio

    Hello Sangamesh,

    thanks for your fast response.
    We are migrating all our systems from AIX 7.2 TL5 to AIX 7.3 TL1 now. Alway in the night once a wekk 16 systems. All work is done by scripts...
    One of these scripts is a edited version of your dnf install script. Just the download the dnf package from a local server...

    How can I now solve this issue? In my script I uninstall all old rpm belonging to the old dnf version and then install the dnf package with your script.
    Installation is always successfull, but dnf brings up these lib error on some systems.
    Do I have to install these three lib rpm's mentioned above before I migrate the system to AIX 7.3?

    Please help me out here...

    best regards

    Hi Joerg,

    If I understand correctly, I think some systems are having libgcc10 and libstdc++10 and no meta packages(libgcc-10, libstdc++-10).

    You had any older libgcc and libstdc++ installed already on these machines ?

    Hi Joerg,

    gcc10 is now the default gcc on all aix version and in most of the cases libgcc and libstdc++ would be update to latest ones.

    But anyway i have updated bundle to take care of this case as well.

    Please try with the latest bundle and let me know the result.

    Hi Juraj,

    This problem happens when we do dnf update without updating rpm.rte to the latest one as per the recommendation.

    The required packages aren't in sync.

    Here libcomps has been updated to python3-libcomps-0.1.15-101 but failed to update python3-3.9.16-2.ppc.

    python3-libcomps-0.1.15-101 isn't compatible with python3-3.7.x.

    Hence it's necessary to update both python3.9 and python3-libcomps.

    To workaround current situation one option would be to remove some of the DNF specific packages.

    rpm -e libcomps python3.9-libcomps python3-libcomps python3-dnf dnf dnf-automatic dnf-data libdnf python3-hawkey python3-libdnf

    And run dnf_aixtoolbox.sh script which should take care of updating to latest rpm.rte and installing required packages and then do the "dnf update".

    Hello @sype !

    Have you run `inutoc .` in the directory you placed the rpm.rte?

    Mine looks like that:

    total 84240
    drwxr-xr-x    4 root     system          152 May 04 14:10 ..
    -rw-r--r--    1 root     system     43051008 May 04 14:11 rpm.rte.4.15.1.1010

    -rw-r--r--    1 root     system         8328 May 04 14:11 .toc

    Running your command led me to the same error:

     installp -qaXFY -d . rpm.rte.4.15.1.1010

    Thank you for the reply @Stephan Dietl . I renamed the file and did an installp, it was successful. 

    Now when I attempt to get `dnf updated`, I am getting the following:

    Greetings,

    I am pretty new to IBM AIX, and have a generic question. I downloaded the "rpm" file from the https://www.ibm.com/resources/mrs/assets?source=aixbp and moved it to the server. When I attempt to install the rpm file I get the following error: 

    bash-5.1# rpm -ivh rpm.rte.4.15.1.1010
error: rpm.rte.4.15.1.1010: not an rpm package (or package manifest):

    rpm.rte is not a rpm file but a  installp fileset...you need to use the installp command to install/update it.

    for example:

    installp -Y -d path_to_fileset latest all

    Since you have DNF which is already updated from DNF repository who are still dependent on pytho3-3.7.

    Here the correct method is to do dnf update which should be updating DNF to python3.9 based.

    What's the error you are seeing when you do "dnf update" ?

    Before running dnf update rpm.rte needs to be updated to latest version.

    Hi Sean,

    This error is similar to @Juraj Petráš had.

    I think somehow dnf update was done with --nobest or --skip-broken without updating rpm.rte to latest version.

    Packages aren't in sync and python3-libcomps isn't compatible with pytho3-3.7.x

    One option here is run the below steps.

    1. rpm -e libcomps python3.9-libcomps python3-libcomps python3-dnf dnf dnf-automatic dnf-data libdnf python3-hawkey python3-libdnf librepo python3-librepo
    2. run the dnf_aixtoolbox.sh script
    3. run dnf update to update the latest toolbox repo.

    SANGAMESH ,

     

    Thank you for responding.

     

    I guess at the end of the rpm -e I would need to put like –nodeps? It won't uninstall because of dependencies.

     

    So after I did the above I ran the dnf_aixtoolbox.sh -y. It updated successfully but I get the following error after it updates.

    What is the proper way to migrate these after I moved from AIX 7.2 -> AIX 7.3?

    Hi Scott,

    It is not clear to me if your environment is DNF completely or it is still YUM or you had both DNF and YUM before trying these steps ?

    From the output it seems to had YUM installed and script would try to migrate to DNF.

    You have complete output or details of rpms installed before trying these steps.

    @SANGAMESH MALLAYYA

    Thanks again for all the help. That was exactly my issue. A yum update --nobest was issued and it borked yum/dnf/python. 

    Once I uninstalled the broken rpm packages using: 

    rpm -e libcomps python3.9-libcomps python3-libcomps python3-dnf dnf dnf-automatic dnf-data libdnf python3-hawkey python3-libdnf librepo python3-librepo

    as well as a few others, ran the dnf_aixtoolbox.sh script, then did a dnf update, yum/dnf started working again. 

    I also had to modify where python3 was called with some user $PATH issues, as well as fixed where pip was being called from. 

    I am up and running again. 

    Thanks,

    -S

    Sharing my results in case others benefit from this:
    I was already at python3.9, so my results are a little different. I tested out some "nodeps" updates to hose up my dnf installation so I could step through a cleanup, as one of my customers had some similar conflicts.
     
    First, I had used Sangamesh's instructions
     
    rpm -e libcomps python3.9-libcomps python3-libcomps python3-dnf dnf dnf-automatic dnf-data libdnf python3-hawkey python3-libdnf librepo python3-librepo python3.9-libdnf
     
    I tried to run the dnf_aixtoolbox.sh script but I had additional errors, in this case it was the python3.9 packages...
    error: Failed dependencies:
            python3.9-hawkey = 0.39.1-64_4 is needed by python3-hawkey-0.39.1-64_4.ppc
            python3.9-libdnf = 0.39.1-64_4 is needed by python3-libdnf-0.39.1-64_4.ppc
            python3.9-librepo = 1.11.0-64_2 is needed by python3-librepo-1.11.0-64_2.ppc
     
    So I removed those 
     
     rpm -e python3.9-librepo python3.9-dnf python3.9-hawkey --nodeps 
     
    Then I ran the 
     /tmp/dnf-20230706172218/install_dnf.sh (that is where the bundle was unpacked, no need to run the dnf_aixtoolbox.sh again)
     
    Then I ran 'dnf update' to update to the latest repo versions.

    I have a box where I don't want to keep any installed toolbox package. Whats the easiest way to get the latest python on it?

    I did dnf update that gave rpm errors,

    The I did rpm -e a bunch of packages,

    Then I ran sudo dnf_update.sh -d

    Now I get this:

        48  10:35   sudo dnf update
        49  10:46   rpm -e libcomps python3.9-libcomps python3-libcomps python3-dnf dnf dnf-automatic dnf-data libdnf python3-hawkey python3-libdnf librepo python3-librepo python3.9-libdnf
        50  10:46   sudo rpm -e libcomps python3.9-libcomps python3-libcomps python3-dnf dnf dnf-automatic dnf-data libdnf python3-hawkey python3-libdnf librepo python3-librepo python3.9-libdnf
        51  10:46   sudo dnf update

    I started doing dnf remove of a bunch of packages and eventually dnf update worked. Not sure if the script would work though.

    Hi Phil

    Since these "announcement" threads tend to be more "FYI" it is best to raise issues in form of a new thread/question to ensure prompt attention to your current request.

    FYI:  I have a blog with an example of removing ALL the packages so you can start over again.  I do this rather frequently on many AIX test lpars.
