  • 1.  DNF Install on AIX7.3

    Posted Wed January 18, 2023 09:26 AM
    Hello All,

    We have been trying to install DNF to make GCC++ install easier for python after AIX7.2 AIX7.3 migration. We have yum install as part of atomicorp antivirus agent install. We successfully install DNF but when we run DNF UPDATE command it says command not found.  Has anyone seen this?

    root@# dnf update
    -bash: dnf: command not found
    [root@ /opt/IBM #

     /opt/IBM # rpm -qa| grep dnf
    python3-libdnf-0.39.1-64_3.ppc
    dnf-4.2.17-64_4.noarch
    libdnf-0.39.1-64_3.ppc
    dnf-data-4.2.17-64_4.noarch
    python3-dnf-4.2.17-64_4.noarch
    dnf-automatic-4.2.17-64_4.noarch
    [root@# rpm -qa| grep yum
    yum-4.2.17-64_4.noarch
    yum-metadata-parser-1.1.4-2.ppc
    [root#

    [root@ # lslpp -l| grep openssl
    openssl.base 20.16.102.2105 COMMITTED Open Secure Socket Layer
    openssl.man.en_US 20.16.102.2105 COMMITTED Open Secure Socket Layer
    openssl.base 20.16.102.2105 COMMITTED Open Secure Socket Layer
    [root@# rpm -qa| grep openssl
    [root@; #

    Update AIX 7.3 to the latest fixpack. You'll need a newer openssl (at least 1.1.1) for the toolbox. The latest fixpack has 3.0.2. Having done the migration from 7.2 to 7.3, you'll probably have to rerun the linux toobox installer to make sure you have the correct python and dnf installed.

    Then put /opt/freeware/bin into your PATH. We put it at the end and that seems to work well.

    Regards,
    Mario
