  • 1.  dnf search fail with libiconv.a

    Posted Thu October 19, 2023 10:35 AM

    Just recently migrated to AIX 7.3 and did a fresh install of dnf and update with no apparent errors.  However, when attempting to run dnf search I get the following:
     # dnf search zip
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/bin/dnf", line 58, in <module>
        from dnf.cli import main

    lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     system           26 Oct 18 13:10 /usr/lib/libintl.a -> /usr/opt/rpm/lib/libintl.a

    Suggestions?

    Hi, John

    Check your LIBPATH, you should not have this set to /usr/lib, but it seems that's where the DNF libraries are searching.

    /opt/freeware/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/libdnf/_common_types.so should be loading /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a(libintl.so.8)

    I can reproduce this error:

     export LIBPATH=/usr/lib; dnf --help
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/opt/freeware/bin/dnf", line 58, in <module>
        from dnf.cli import main
      File "/opt/freeware/lib/python3.9/site-packages/dnf/__init__.py", line 30, in <module>
        import dnf.base
      File "/opt/freeware/lib/python3.9/site-packages/dnf/base.py", line 29, in <module>
        import libdnf.transaction
      File "/opt/freeware/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/libdnf/__init__.py", line 3, in <module>
        from . import common_types
      File "/opt/freeware/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/libdnf/common_types.py", line 13, in <module>
        from . import _common_types
    ImportError:    0509-022 Cannot load module /opt/freeware/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/libdnf/_common_types.so.
            0509-150   Dependent module /usr/lib/libiconv.a(libiconv.so.2) could not be loaded.
            0509-152   Member libiconv.so.2 is not found in archive

    Then:

     unset LIBPATH; dnf --help

    usage: dnf [options] COMMAND
