Hello,

After installing the bash-4.4-3.aix6.1.ppc rpm downloaded from the AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications on a clean AIX 7.2 host, I get the following info/error message:

## Binary "bash" is available in 32bit and 64bit ##

        The default used is 64bit

        If 32 bit is needed, please change symbolic link
        for "bash" in /bin directory
        To do that type:
                # rm -f /bin/bash
                # ln -sf /opt/freeware/bin/bash_32 /bin/bash

cp: /bin/bash: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
rpm_share: 0645-007 ATTENTION: update_file() returned an unexpected result.
rpm_share: 0645-007 ATTENTION: update_inst_root() returned an unexpected result.

The main issue is that the /bin/bash symbolic link is missing.

I have found the following article, although it applies to AIX 7.1: https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1IJ00512

Our bos.rte.install fileset is at the following level, so this does not seem to be the problem:

# lslpp -L | grep bos.rte.install
  bos.rte.install            7.2.2.1    C     F    LPP Install Commands

We would like to solve this issue, since we don't want to manually create the bash symbolic link every time we install the rpm on a new server.

Any advice on how to solve this problem?

If the failure is in chroot environment, then this needs to be checked with install team to confirm if we have same issue with 7.2.2.1 image.

Thanks,

I'm actually not sure. I don't think so, since I have not run anything on the AIX host except for the installation commands.

The libraries and binaries do get installed to /opt/freeware/lib and /opt/freeware/bin by default.

How do I verify I'm working in a chrooted environment or not? This command I've found gives the following output:

# ls -di /
    2 /

To start with try and see if you can add "set -x" to the  get_rpm_inst_root_list() function which would give little more idea.

This is what i am seeing in my case.

Looking at the logs it shows /bin/bash is part of / instead of /opt.

Is this installation is being run on private wpar ?

In my case i could see the /opt is being mounted.

What is the output of "ls -l /usr/opt" ?

Okay. As mentioned issue here is that /opt filesystem is missing.

Please check why you don't have /opt being mounted.

What is output of "ls -l /opt/freeware"  ?

I guess some files are installed in /opt already but could be some issue with mount later.

Thanks,

Please run and provide the output of below commands.

cd /opt

df .

Also please check if /opt entry is present in /etc/filesystems. If it is present then mostly issue with the mount.

Thanks,
