AIX Open Source

after  dnf update aix72 -> aix73 with latest dnf bundle, dnf is dead.

see attached file with errors. the forum does not let me add inline code (permission denied) hence the included file, maybe you should look into this as well.

so i reinstalled rpm-python3.9-4.15.1-64_3.aix7.1.ppc.rpm and gettext, because the bailed out posttrans script seems to messed up the whole install.

please provide some insights what is going on here, this whole dnf update task gets more and more unmanageable.

I guess somehow /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a was pointing to /usr/opt/rpm/lib/libintl.a.

And binary provided by coreutils are failing due to missing symbol from libintl.a

Hard to tell at what point that change could have happened.

On the other side I think rpm-python3 and ca-certificate rpm can be rebuilt to use /usr/bin commands instead of just using command without pathnames.

We have already changed some of packages in dnf bundle to use /usr/bin commands.
