    We would like to install following rpm packages:
    1. git 2.35.1
    2. python3 3.7.12
    3. screen 4.7.0
    4. vim-common 8.2.4938
    5. vim-enhanced 8.2.4938
    6. curl 7.79.1
    7. zip 3.0 / unzip 6.0

    But it failed with many "error: failed dependencies".

    Questions:
    1) Even the higher version of some dependency package already be  installed,   why it still require the lower version or greater on other packages?
        For example, when we tried to install curl, git and python packages, even there already are "libgcc8-8.3.0-6" installed, but it still failed with the error of      "libgcc >= 8.3.0 is needed by <package name>".

    2) Please advise of how to solve the dependency error as above and successfully install all software packages.

    RPMs are best managed using dnf. Please install dnf using https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/ezinstall/ppc/dnf_aixtoolbox.sh script and then install packages of your interest. dnf will automatically resolve the RPM dependencies and install them.
    If you do not want to install dnf or you can not install dnf then you will have to manually install all the dependencies and that is very tedious job.

    Hi Sanket,

    Thank you for your reply. 
    I have tried to install DNF and setup local repo with AIX Toolbox Media Image following the steps in these discussions:

    - Creating local repo with DNF and AIX Toolbox Media Image => https://community.ibm.com/community/user/power/blogs/sangamesh-mallayya1/2022/02/09/creating-local-repo-with-dnf-and-aix-toolbox-media?CommunityKey=10c1d831-47ee-4d92-a138-b03f7896f7c9

    - DNF failed to run on AIX 7.2: => https://community.ibm.com/community/user/power/communities/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?MessageKey=88dbe945-083d-4ee2-b789-dd61e2dfa9f5&CommunityKey=10c1d831-47ee-4d92-a138-b03f7896f7c9&bm=88dbe945-083d-4ee2-b789-dd61e2dfa9f5#bm88dbe945-083d-4ee2-b789-dd61e2dfa9f5

    And now we can install AIX Open Source RPM packages successfully without dependency error anymore.

    How to install and configure dnf on LPARS belonging to yellow zone.

    We have some LPARS in yellow zone for pentest. External vendor has requested some debugging and GNU toolchains to be installed. But due to recursive dependency it's keep going nowhere. So dnf is the only option.

    But public.dhe.ibm.com is not accessible from yellow zone.

    You should create a local dnf repo and use it.

    Here is an article how to create local yum repo for AIX but same applied for dnf just use dnf tools.

    https://developer.ibm.com/articles/configure-yum-on-aix/

     

     

    It is same as for any other RPM based system in yellow zone.

    You can also use AIX Toolbox media to create local repo or install packages.

    Thanks,
