Dependency of git-core-doc on /opt/freeware/bin/perl not resolved by symbolic link

  • 1.  Dependency of git-core-doc on /opt/freeware/bin/perl not resolved by symbolic link

    Posted Fri August 01, 2025 09:28 PM

    I'm trying to install git on an AIX 7.2 test server and am almost there, but got stuck on git-core-doc.

    # rpm -Uvh git-core-doc-2.41.0-2.aix7.1.noarch.rpm
    warning: git-core-doc-2.41.0-2.aix7.1.noarch.rpm: Header V4 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 41eea8e0: NOKEY
    error: Failed dependencies:
            /opt/freeware/bin/perl is needed by git-core-doc-2.41.0-2.noarch

    I created a symbolic link to resolve the issue

    # ls /opt/freeware/bin/perl
    /opt/freeware/bin/perl

    However, I'm still getting the same error. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
