dnf_aixtoolbox.sh is broken because of ca-certificates dependency

  • 1.  dnf_aixtoolbox.sh is broken because of ca-certificates dependency

    Posted Tue January 21, 2025 03:34 PM

    The dnf_aixtoolbox.sh script needs to be fixed such that the certificates from the ca-certificates package that are required to download dnf_bundle_aix_73.tar are made available separately first somehow.

    The command

    LDR_CNTRL=MAXDATA=0x80000000@DSA /usr/opt/perl5/bin/lwp-download https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/ezinstall/ppc/dnf_bundle_aix_73.tar

    in dnf_aixtoolbox.sh fails without some of the certs in the ca-certificaates RPM, which is part of dnf_bundle_aix_73.tar.

    So you have a chicken and egg situation where we cannot download dnf_bundle_aix_73.tar without ca-certificaates, but ca-certificaates is part of dnf_bundle_aix_73.tar.

    The 

    export PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME=0

    command before

    LDR_CNTRL=MAXDATA=0x80000000@DSA /usr/opt/perl5/bin/lwp-download https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/ezinstall/ppc/dnf_bundle_aix_73.tar

    does not help, at least on AIX 7.3 TL3, which just came out in December 2024.

    Thanks.
