Hi all. 

I am attempting to install DNF on AIX 7200-05-03-2135. 
I have updated OpenSSL to 1.1.2.2000.
DNF installed fine. However, running "dnf update" results in the following error messages:

root@Metro_AIX_LPAR2RRD_93:[/] # dnf update

Can you advise, please?

The error suggests you have another openssl in /opt/freeware/lib path. It could be because you have openssl rpm installed. 

If you can remove openssl rpm then remove it and try again.
