  • 1.  After AIX 7.3 migration and DNF conversion from 32-bit to 64-bit - dnf check shows problems

    Posted Wed January 11, 2023 12:53 PM
    My starting point was AIX 7.2 and DNF was installed and working fine.

    I migrated AIX to 7.3 and then I have followed the instructions on migrating DNF 32-bit to 64-bit after AIX 7.3 migration

    root@jp-p710-nim01:/:# oslevel -s
    7300-01-01-2246

    root@jp-p710-nim01:/:# dnf repolist
    repo id repo name
    AIX_Toolbox AIX generic repository
    AIX_Toolbox_73 AIX 7.3 specific repository
    AIX_Toolbox_noarch AIX noarch repository

    root@jp-p710-nim01:/:# dnf update
    Last metadata expiration check: 0:11:19 ago on Wed Jan 11 10:40:28 MST 2023.
    Dependencies resolved.
    Nothing to do.
    Complete!

    libgcc10-10.3.0-6.ppc

    libgomp10-10.3.0-6.ppc
    libstdc++-10-2.ppc
    libstdc++10-10.3.0-6.ppc

    I compared this with a new install of AIX 7.3 that I have done and the packages are identical.   "dnf check" on new install AIX 7.3 runs clean.

    Any idea?
    Thanks
    Dean

    i am in the same boat here...upgrade from aix 7.2 -> 7.3  kills dnf...what is the correct procedure here...

    "dnf update" dnf did not work, it should though.

    Hi Chris,

    Please let me know the details of the "dnf update" issue.

    i cant find the detailed output on the trice but it was something "dnf update dnf" wants to upgrade dnf and in the same wants to downgrade yum -4.2.17
    to yum-3.4.3-8  which is not going through of course. i forced this, just for testing, and dnf goes bust afterwards, which is understandable.

    so what i really want to know is...is "dnf update dnf"  after going from aix 7.2 with dnf already installed to aix 7.3 (7300-01-01-2246) enough to migrate successfully?

    Hi Dean,

    Please reinstall the packages listed.
    Since versions are same they won't be updated to 7.3 gcc by default.

    Hi Sangamesh - thanks for the tip - I ran the "dnf reinstall" for those packages and now dnf check runs clean.

    Thanks!
