AIX Open Source

this is mostly a thank you to the opensource community for helping. I'm new to opensource but been with AIX for some time. Trying to upgrade ClamAV from 102 to 103 I wind up tussling with yum and its repository file setup.

Running AIX7.2. yum3 wants to go to dnf using dnf_toolbox.sh. So I downloaded a lot of toolbox files, including dnf_bundle_aix_71_72.tar and untarred some into a local gpfs FS /gpfs/software/ClamAV --  because these lpars have no internet access. execute dnf_toolbox.sh says it cant download the dnf_bundle_aix_71_72.tar file but its in the dir. so I thought maybe yum wants to see it so I create - after some wandering - a repository with all the files for clam and dnf. still ./dnf_aixtoolbox.sh fails looking for dnf_bundle_aix_71_72. looking at the script it seems that oslevel 7.2.0. is not included.

the script is a bundle of if else elif whatif  whatelse ... I had to modify the script to copy the downloaded tar file to the tmp file it created to put the bundle file it wanted to copy from off the intnet, and also mod the final if to look at the temp file it created and NOT fail out and go on to do installsh. it worked and updayed yum to dnf and noted that yum is soft link to dnf and dnf will use the yum repositories.
  still failing install of ClamAV though - the clamav103 repository has a bad file somehow. couldnt read file:// file ... repodata - i dont even have that!

well at least I got dnf running on AIX7.2.5.3!

Thanks

Hi Brendan,

Sorry for the delay in response.

If you want to use toolbox rpm packages using DNF for the lpars which don not have internet then you need to use any one of the method.

dnf seems to be working but it wont install or upgrade anything. I ran dnf update curl-8.5.0.1aix.ppc.rpm 

it listed 7 more packages  - curl-8.5 and libssh2-1.9 

 ran dnf upgrade curl-8.5 

   dependencies resolved.
      Problem: cannot install the best update candidate for curl-7
        nothing provides libler ... needed by curl 
                                   libssh2   '' ''

        then tried to update/install  liblber..."
                more nothing 
   but libssh - it would install

am I supposed to get these binaries from IBM?

I am beginning to think ClamAV-103 is not installable!

Hi Sangamesh,

 I put the response from dnf repolist at the end. I cant get clamav installed in the past 2 months so its getting to the point where i have to think its not installable.

part of my problem is that this site has no access so everything has to be trucked in/out, missing rpms etc and every single rpm that i try has 7 other dependencies that have to be dragged in. there is no list of requirements for ClamAV -  leaving me to just fumble and stumble around like a blind bumble bee collecting pollen.

The other part is that I am unused to both Opensource and linux. I can see that dnf install looks in the current directory for the object file but it doesn't see the curl file (for ex)?  so it says 'nothing provides curl. Which is why I am trying to create a repository so dnf will see and install these files it needs. I guess that's what is meant by 'nothing provides' but not sure. There is a repository from clamav-102 called 'cloudinit'. I tried adding a few of the listed dependency files to it but it didnt seem to help so I thought that I would have to create a separate repository for calmav103. I tried to follow 'Creating local repo with DNF and AIX Toolbox Media Image' but dont have the image.

Hi Brendan

I installed clamav last week using the DNF repo and its available on both versions of AIX. It's more than likely a repo issue on your end and from what I can see it's because you only setup the AIX 7.2 and AIX 7.3 repo and not AIX_TOOLBOX and AIX_TOOLBOX_NOARCH repos.
See below:

Hi Sangamesh,

 I put the response from dnf repolist at the end. I cant get clamav installed in the past 2 months so its getting to the point where i have to think its not installable.

How you were using toolbox rpm packages with yum3 ?

this is mostly a thank you to the opensource community for helping. I'm new to opensource but been with AIX for some time. Trying to upgrade ClamAV from 102 to 103 I wind up tussling with yum and its repository file setup.

Running AIX7.2. yum3 wants to go to dnf using dnf_toolbox.sh. So I downloaded a lot of toolbox files, including dnf_bundle_aix_71_72.tar and untarred some into a local gpfs FS /gpfs/software/ClamAV --  because these lpars have no internet access. execute dnf_toolbox.sh says it cant download the dnf_bundle_aix_71_72.tar file but its in the dir. so I thought maybe yum wants to see it so I create - after some wandering - a repository with all the files for clam and dnf. still ./dnf_aixtoolbox.sh fails looking for dnf_bundle_aix_71_72. looking at the script it seems that oslevel 7.2.0. is not included.

the script is a bundle of if else elif whatif  whatelse ... I had to modify the script to copy the downloaded tar file to the tmp file it created to put the bundle file it wanted to copy from off the intnet, and also mod the final if to look at the temp file it created and NOT fail out and go on to do installsh. it worked and updayed yum to dnf and noted that yum is soft link to dnf and dnf will use the yum repositories.
  still failing install of ClamAV though - the clamav103 repository has a bad file somehow. couldnt read file:// file ... repodata - i dont even have that!

well at least I got dnf running on AIX7.2.5.3!

Thanks

Hi -

hope I am not over explaining - I do have a question at the end - tried to upgrade clamav but its failed.

I ran into a problem trying to do that. I am working in a sandbox, actually 2 sort of identical sandboxes, other users have free access but don't always communicate.

Sandbox 1,  I created a dir 'clamav-103', copied ClamAV rpms to it, and then added a stanza for that in dnf.conf with enabled=0. dnf repolist showed it ok as not enabled. Then i ran dnf with it activated and for some reason /opt/freeware got trashed. some files were deleted and some were zeroed.

I copied over files from a sister lpar - Sandbox2 but its not working well. It has yum 4-2-17 but now refuses to install dnf because its already installed.

My Question - should I copy the ClamAV rpms to an existing repo file - cloudinit?
 

Hi Brendan

I installed clamav last week using the DNF repo and its available on both versions of AIX. It's more than likely a repo issue on your end and from what I can see it's because you only setup the AIX 7.2 and AIX 7.3 repo and not AIX_TOOLBOX and AIX_TOOLBOX_NOARCH repos.
See below:

Hi Sangamesh,

 I put the response from dnf repolist at the end. I cant get clamav installed in the past 2 months so its getting to the point where i have to think its not installable.

part of my problem is that this site has no access so everything has to be trucked in/out, missing rpms etc and every single rpm that i try has 7 other dependencies that have to be dragged in. there is no list of requirements for ClamAV -  leaving me to just fumble and stumble around like a blind bumble bee collecting pollen.

The other part is that I am unused to both Opensource and linux. I can see that dnf install looks in the current directory for the object file but it doesn't see the curl file (for ex)?  so it says 'nothing provides curl. Which is why I am trying to create a repository so dnf will see and install these files it needs. I guess that's what is meant by 'nothing provides' but not sure. There is a repository from clamav-102 called 'cloudinit'. I tried adding a few of the listed dependency files to it but it didnt seem to help so I thought that I would have to create a separate repository for calmav103. I tried to follow 'Creating local repo with DNF and AIX Toolbox Media Image' but dont have the image.

dnf seems to be working but it wont install or upgrade anything. I ran dnf update curl-8.5.0.1aix.ppc.rpm 

it listed 7 more packages  - curl-8.5 and libssh2-1.9 

 ran dnf upgrade curl-8.5 

   dependencies resolved.
      Problem: cannot install the best update candidate for curl-7
        nothing provides libler ... needed by curl

am I supposed to get these binaries from IBM?

Hi Brendan,

Sorry for the delay in response.

If you want to use toolbox rpm packages using DNF for the lpars which don not have internet then you need to use any one of the method.

1. https://developer.ibm.com/tutorials/awb-configuring-dnf-create-local-repos-ibm-aix/
2.  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

How you were using toolbox rpm packages with yum3 ?

this is mostly a thank you to the opensource community for helping. I'm new to opensource but been with AIX for some time. Trying to upgrade ClamAV from 102 to 103 I wind up tussling with yum and its repository file setup.

Running AIX7.2. yum3 wants to go to dnf using dnf_toolbox.sh. So I downloaded a lot of toolbox files, including dnf_bundle_aix_71_72.tar and untarred some into a local gpfs FS /gpfs/software/ClamAV --  because these lpars have no internet access. execute dnf_toolbox.sh says it cant download the dnf_bundle_aix_71_72.tar file but its in the dir. so I thought maybe yum wants to see it so I create - after some wandering - a repository with all the files for clam and dnf. still ./dnf_aixtoolbox.sh fails looking for dnf_bundle_aix_71_72. looking at the script it seems that oslevel 7.2.0. is not included.

the script is a bundle of if else elif whatif  whatelse ... I had to modify the script to copy the downloaded tar file to the tmp file it created to put the bundle file it wanted to copy from off the intnet, and also mod the final if to look at the temp file it created and NOT fail out and go on to do installsh. it worked and updayed yum to dnf and noted that yum is soft link to dnf and dnf will use the yum repositories.
  still failing install of ClamAV though - the clamav103 repository has a bad file somehow. couldnt read file:// file ... repodata - i dont even have that!

well at least I got dnf running on AIX7.2.5.3!

Thanks

Hi Brendan

You are trying to install clamav rpm package by downloading all the dependency packages without being present in the repository you have enabled.

If the dependency packages are not present in the repository then dnf won't be knowing from to pick the dependency rpm packages.

So, to install clamav downloaded rpm package using dnf you also need to manually provide dependency packages in the same command.

For example 

dnf upgrade ./clamav-0.103.11-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm ./curl-8.7.1-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm ./libiconv-1.17-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm ......

Hi -

hope I am not over explaining - I do have a question at the end - tried to upgrade clamav but its failed.

I ran into a problem trying to do that. I am working in a sandbox, actually 2 sort of identical sandboxes, other users have free access but don't always communicate.

Sandbox 1,  I created a dir 'clamav-103', copied ClamAV rpms to it, and then added a stanza for that in dnf.conf with enabled=0. dnf repolist showed it ok as not enabled. Then i ran dnf with it activated and for some reason /opt/freeware got trashed. some files were deleted and some were zeroed.

I copied over files from a sister lpar - Sandbox2 but its not working well. It has yum 4-2-17 but now refuses to install dnf because its already installed.
/clamav ># dnf  gets   not found
I didn't know there was a 'createrepo' function. anyway I tried to reinstall dnf but its not working

On Sandbox2 I reran dnf_aixtoolbox.sh - moded for no access - it ran ok - install_dnf.sh is good.

Hi -

hope I am not over explaining - I do have a question at the end - tried to upgrade clamav but its failed.

I ran into a problem trying to do that. I am working in a sandbox, actually 2 sort of identical sandboxes, other users have free access but don't always communicate.

Sandbox 1,  I created a dir 'clamav-103', copied ClamAV rpms to it, and then added a stanza for that in dnf.conf with enabled=0. dnf repolist showed it ok as not enabled. Then i ran dnf with it activated and for some reason /opt/freeware got trashed. some files were deleted and some were zeroed.

I copied over files from a sister lpar - Sandbox2 but its not working well. It has yum 4-2-17 but now refuses to install dnf because its already installed.

Hi Brendan

I installed clamav last week using the DNF repo and its available on both versions of AIX. It's more than likely a repo issue on your end and from what I can see it's because you only setup the AIX 7.2 and AIX 7.3 repo and not AIX_TOOLBOX and AIX_TOOLBOX_NOARCH repos.
See below:

Hi Sangamesh,

 I put the response from dnf repolist at the end. I cant get clamav installed in the past 2 months so its getting to the point where i have to think its not installable.

part of my problem is that this site has no access so everything has to be trucked in/out, missing rpms etc and every single rpm that i try has 7 other dependencies that have to be dragged in. there is no list of requirements for ClamAV -  leaving me to just fumble and stumble around like a blind bumble bee collecting pollen.

The other part is that I am unused to both Opensource and linux. I can see that dnf install looks in the current directory for the object file but it doesn't see the curl file (for ex)?  so it says 'nothing provides curl. Which is why I am trying to create a repository so dnf will see and install these files it needs. I guess that's what is meant by 'nothing provides' but not sure. There is a repository from clamav-102 called 'cloudinit'. I tried adding a few of the listed dependency files to it but it didnt seem to help so I thought that I would have to create a separate repository for calmav103. I tried to follow 'Creating local repo with DNF and AIX Toolbox Media Image' but dont have the image.

dnf seems to be working but it wont install or upgrade anything. I ran dnf update curl-8.5.0.1aix.ppc.rpm 

it listed 7 more packages  - curl-8.5 and libssh2-1.9 

 ran dnf upgrade curl-8.5 

   dependencies resolved.
      Problem: cannot install the best update candidate for curl-7
        nothing provides libler ... needed by curl 
                                   libssh2   '' ''

        then tried to update/install  liblber..."
                more nothing 
   but libssh - it would install

am I supposed to get these binaries from IBM?

I am beginning to think ClamAV-103 is not installable!

Hi Brendan,

Sorry for the delay in response.

If you want to use toolbox rpm packages using DNF for the lpars which don not have internet then you need to use any one of the method.

1. https://developer.ibm.com/tutorials/awb-configuring-dnf-create-local-repos-ibm-aix/
2.  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

How you were using toolbox rpm packages with yum3 ?

this is mostly a thank you to the opensource community for helping. I'm new to opensource but been with AIX for some time. Trying to upgrade ClamAV from 102 to 103 I wind up tussling with yum and its repository file setup.

Running AIX7.2. yum3 wants to go to dnf using dnf_toolbox.sh. So I downloaded a lot of toolbox files, including dnf_bundle_aix_71_72.tar and untarred some into a local gpfs FS /gpfs/software/ClamAV --  because these lpars have no internet access. execute dnf_toolbox.sh says it cant download the dnf_bundle_aix_71_72.tar file but its in the dir. so I thought maybe yum wants to see it so I create - after some wandering - a repository with all the files for clam and dnf. still ./dnf_aixtoolbox.sh fails looking for dnf_bundle_aix_71_72. looking at the script it seems that oslevel 7.2.0. is not included.

the script is a bundle of if else elif whatif  whatelse ... I had to modify the script to copy the downloaded tar file to the tmp file it created to put the bundle file it wanted to copy from off the intnet, and also mod the final if to look at the temp file it created and NOT fail out and go on to do installsh. it worked and updayed yum to dnf and noted that yum is soft link to dnf and dnf will use the yum repositories.
  still failing install of ClamAV though - the clamav103 repository has a bad file somehow. couldnt read file:// file ... repodata - i dont even have that!

well at least I got dnf running on AIX7.2.5.3!

Thanks

Brendan

Hi Brendan,

Why can't you try with the command I have give in my previous post ?

packages which you have added in your repo are not correct. 

Check this error

           Requires: ncurses >= 6.4
           Installed: ncurses-6.2-2.ppc (installed)
               ncurses = 6.2-2
           Available: ncurses-6.1-2.ppc (cloudinit)
               ncurses = 6.1-2

You have added nurses-6.1-2 but the required one is ncurses-6.4

And the other required packages are not available in your repo.

           Requires: libiconv >= 1.17
           Installed: libiconv-1.16-1.ppc (installed)
               libiconv = 1.16-1

You can verify what are all the packages you have added in your repo with "dnf list available"

I hope I am not posting too much - I can edit it down if it is.

I don't get the last 2 lines about "pre-existing rpmdb problem(s),"

and its asking for files that i added to repo - do I need to do a refresh? 

Still fails after I moved the rpms to the cloudinit repo directory:

Hi Brendan

You are trying to install clamav rpm package by downloading all the dependency packages without being present in the repository you have enabled.

If the dependency packages are not present in the repository then dnf won't be knowing from to pick the dependency rpm packages.

So, to install clamav downloaded rpm package using dnf you also need to manually provide dependency packages in the same command.

For example 

dnf upgrade ./clamav-0.103.11-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm ./curl-8.7.1-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm ./libiconv-1.17-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm ......

Hi -

hope I am not over explaining - I do have a question at the end - tried to upgrade clamav but its failed.

I ran into a problem trying to do that. I am working in a sandbox, actually 2 sort of identical sandboxes, other users have free access but don't always communicate.

Sandbox 1,  I created a dir 'clamav-103', copied ClamAV rpms to it, and then added a stanza for that in dnf.conf with enabled=0. dnf repolist showed it ok as not enabled. Then i ran dnf with it activated and for some reason /opt/freeware got trashed. some files were deleted and some were zeroed.

I copied over files from a sister lpar - Sandbox2 but its not working well. It has yum 4-2-17 but now refuses to install dnf because its already installed.
/clamav ># dnf  gets   not found
I didn't know there was a 'createrepo' function. anyway I tried to reinstall dnf but its not working

On Sandbox2 I reran dnf_aixtoolbox.sh - moded for no access - it ran ok - install_dnf.sh is good.
Except that it doesnt have a createrepo?
  /ClamAV># dnf info createrepo
  no matching packages to list.

so ClamAV has turned into a giant headache for me. That's just trying to get dnf installed so I can  get ClamAV installed!

------------------------------
On my Sandbox2   
  The dir /ClamAV has the Toolbox ClamAV rpms but dnf upgrade of existing clamav102 to 103 doesnt work 

   /ClamAV># dnf upgrade ./clamav-0.103.11-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm
   'skipping packages with broken dependencies' - but I didn't specify that -

i attached a copy of the run and a list of rpms.

----------------
My Question - should I copy the ClamAV rpms to an existing repo file - cloudinit?
 

Hi Brendan

I installed clamav last week using the DNF repo and its available on both versions of AIX. It's more than likely a repo issue on your end and from what I can see it's because you only setup the AIX 7.2 and AIX 7.3 repo and not AIX_TOOLBOX and AIX_TOOLBOX_NOARCH repos.
See below:

Hi Sangamesh,

 I put the response from dnf repolist at the end. I cant get clamav installed in the past 2 months so its getting to the point where i have to think its not installable.

part of my problem is that this site has no access so everything has to be trucked in/out, missing rpms etc and every single rpm that i try has 7 other dependencies that have to be dragged in. there is no list of requirements for ClamAV -  leaving me to just fumble and stumble around like a blind bumble bee collecting pollen.

The other part is that I am unused to both Opensource and linux. I can see that dnf install looks in the current directory for the object file but it doesn't see the curl file (for ex)?  so it says 'nothing provides curl. Which is why I am trying to create a repository so dnf will see and install these files it needs. I guess that's what is meant by 'nothing provides' but not sure. There is a repository from clamav-102 called 'cloudinit'. I tried adding a few of the listed dependency files to it but it didnt seem to help so I thought that I would have to create a separate repository for calmav103. I tried to follow 'Creating local repo with DNF and AIX Toolbox Media Image' but dont have the image.
