python3 (from AIX web download pack programs) compatibility with rpm git 2.41.0-1?

  • 1.  python3 (from AIX web download pack programs) compatibility with rpm git 2.41.0-1?

    Posted Tue July 09, 2024 10:07 AM

    Hi, 

    I installed python3.9.base  fileset on an AIX 7.3 LPAR.

    This package comes from AIX Web Download Pack Programs . 

    Now I would like to install rpm git.2.41-0-1 from AIX Toolbox but the  installation failed:

    +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
                              RPM  Error Summary:
    +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    The following errors occurred during installation:
    error: Failed dependencies:
            python3 >= 3.7.12-1 is needed by git-2.41.0-1.ppc

    => Is there a simple way to avoid installing  python3 rpm  package (coming from AIX toolbox) 

    to install rpm packages having python3 dependency ? 

    Note: python3.9.base  uses the /usr/opt directory

    but rpm python3 uses the /opt/freeware .

    All packages from the AIX Toolbox that need Python will use the Python provided by the Toolbox.

    Also, if you want to use Toolbox packages, you will have a much better experience if you install dnf, which will install dependencies for you.
