Hi,

We want to deploy the Yum feature on our AIX Servers with a central repository (RH Satellite), no firewall between them.

It works fine with the "yum_bundle_v5" on one AIX 7.2 LPAR, with the included default yum.conf (external IBM Repositories) AND internal yum.conf

root@aixgpfstest1:/root
# yum repolist
repo id                         repo name                                 status
AIX_Toolbox                     AIX generic repository                    2,025
AIX_Toolbox_72                  AIX 7.2 specific repository                  83
AIX_Toolbox_noarch              AIX noarch repository                       138
repolist: 2,246

 

The exactly same installation / configuration  on our second LPAR aixgpfstest2 did work with external IBM Repos. but NOT with internal one.

On both Server LIBPATH is  in /root/.profile like this :

export LIBPATH=/opt/freeware/lib/:/opt/freeware/lib64/:$LIBPATH

Any clue ?

Thanks a lot, it makes me crazy ;-)

#AIXOpenSource

I see the python version 2.7.10 is very old. You need to update the python to 2.7.18. 
 You can do "LIBPATH=/opt/freeware/lib:/usr/lib yum update python python-devel python-tools" 
Once python is updated , then there is no need for LIBPATH. Yum will work fine.

Hi Sanke Rathi,

I have installed libffi and required dependent RPMs, but still gettin gbelow error.

root@qanim01adtest:/tmp/python > yum repolist
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a(libintl.so.8) because:
0509-136 Symbol _GLOBAL__AIXI_libiconv_so (number 4) is not exported from

0509-136 Symbol _GLOBAL__AIXD_libiconv_so (number 5) is not exported from
dependent module /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv.a(libiconv.so.2).
0509-022 Cannot load module /opt/freeware/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rpm/_rpm.so.
0509-026 System error: Cannot run a file that does not have a valid format.
0509-192 Examine .loader section symbols with the
'dump -Tv' command.

Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.

It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:

I see the python version 2.7.10 is very old. You need to update the python to 2.7.18. 
 You can do "LIBPATH=/opt/freeware/lib:/usr/lib yum update python python-devel python-tools" 
Once python is updated , then there is no need for LIBPATH. Yum will work fine.

parser discovers the associated structures in the document being parsed. A
start tag is an example of the kind of structures for which you may
register handlers.

The library is available as 32-bit and 64-bit.

I see the python version 2.7.10 is very old. You need to update the python to 2.7.18. 
 You can do "LIBPATH=/opt/freeware/lib:/usr/lib yum update python python-devel python-tools" 
Once python is updated , then there is no need for LIBPATH. Yum will work fine.
