Any update on this please?  Thank you :) 

Hi Shahir,

Share the output of below.  Was it working anytime previously in your system ?  Share more details about what are the operation done by you , if any, which caused above failure ? 

rpm -qa

Hi Ranjit,

 Was it working anytime previously in your system ?   =  I am not sure about this. First time I am doing this on this or any servers.

Share more details about what are the operation done by you , if any, which caused above failure ?  =

I have downloaded the DNF AIXToolbox , and doing the update process, like below. Please see below link from the community

Creating local repo with DNF and AIX Toolbox Media Image

And I was facing issue when running 5th step, which is   # dnf repolist 

Hope this makes sense

Thank you

Hi
In your system, gcc related runtimes packages like libgcc,libstdc++ , libgomp etc looks very old (4.8.1)   . 
So you need to remove it and use the latest one provided by ISO. I guess, in ISO, you will have version 10.
Try to install libgcc, libgcc10, libstdc++, libstdc++10 from your ISO and let's us know the outcome.

Thanks
Ranjit

Hi Ranjit,

Getting error while removing as it has dependencies

see below

# rpm -e libgcc

error: Failed dependencies:

libgcc >= 4.2.3-2 is needed by (installed) tripwire-2.4.2.2-1.ppc

libgcc >= 4.2.3-2 is needed by (installed) glib2-2.36.3-1.ppc

libgcc is needed by (installed) libstdc++-4.8.1-1.ppc

Also

to install libgcc and all 

I was checking the rpm lists in the ISO, but i can not locate these rpms there

Hi,
Instead of searching on /mnt1/RPMS/ppc, go to  /mnt1/RPMS and then cd to your AIX OS specific ppc-7.X folder.
In this folder, try to find the mentioned pkg.

Regarding below , you need to do back-tracking one by one and remove all dependencies before removing  libgcc. For example, below first remove libstdc++,glib2,tripwire .
And while removing any of these, if same error reported then you need to the newly reported dependencies. 

# rpm -e libgcc

error: Failed dependencies:

libgcc >= 4.2.3-2 is needed by (installed) tripwire-2.4.2.2-1.ppc

libgcc >= 4.2.3-2 is needed by (installed) glib2-2.36.3-1.ppc

libgcc is needed by (installed) libstdc++-4.8.1-1.ppc

Thanks
Ranjit

Hi Ranjit,

Will that be ok remove "all" the dependency RPMs to remove the mentioned 3 RPMs - libgcc,libstdc++ , libgomp .

Any chances to cause any issues to the running  AIX server?

Please let me know.

Thanks

Shahir

Hi Shahir,

These logs are not error, just warning.
It's possible that the files installed using tripwire RPM is removed manually by root user. And if you try to remove that  rpm , you will get these type of warning.
You can now list the installed rpms using 'rpm -qa' and you will not have tripwire in the output. 
Now you can proceed with other RPMS.

Thanks
Ranjit 

Ok Ranjit

Thanks

Hi Ranjit,

removed the below ones, with many other dependencies

root@AIX Hostname:/>> rpm -qa|grep -i libgomp

root@AIX Hostname:/>> rpm -qa|grep -i libstdc++

root@AIX Hostname:/>>

So what is next step to follow after removing the libgcc as well please? Try dnf install and dnfupdate ?

Thanks

Shahir

And removing libgcc is going in circle,  please see the below

please advise.  Thanks

Hi Shahir,

I guess , libstdc++ is removed.  
Let's try to update libgcc10 from ISO  using 'rpm -Uvh libgcc*rpm'.
Once this is done, you can install libstdc++ related RPMS also.

In la

Thanks
Ranjit
