I am attempting to install dnf on my 7.2.5.3 system. It fails with a dependency on libncurses.so
libncurses.so is needed by rpmlibs32-4.15.1.0-32_3.1.ppc
Attempting to install ncurses with rpm gives a couple dependency failures.
bash-4.2# rpm -i ncurses-6.5-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libgcc >= 10.3.0 is needed by ncurses-6.5-1.ppc
libstdc++ >= 10.3.0 is needed by ncurses-6.5-1.ppc
And that leads to yet another dependency failure:
bash-4.2# rpm -i libgcc10-10.3.0-6.aix7.2.ppc.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libgcc <= 9.1.0 conflicts with libgcc10-10.3.0-6.ppc
At this point, I'm stuck. I can find no guidance or answers other than "use dnf", which obviously doesn't work, since that's what I'm trying to install.
What do you need from me for help with this issue? Alternately, if this is the wrong place to ask this question, what is the right place?
Thank you for any assistance.
