AIX Open Source

Hello,

We ran the      yum check       command on an AIX 7.2 lpar.

The yum check command returns an error about the package "renderproto"

So we have decided to update it.  With no result as no update was available.

But the package did not come from the AIX TOOLBOX...

We had to remove manually the package and  re-install it under the control of YUM.

I was wondering if the     yum update   command should not check if the current package version comes from the AIX TOOLBOX or not ?

I have seen we should have tried a          yum reinstall renderproto

This is what we will do next time !
