I was trying to configure Yum on AIX 6.1 using yum.sh file. It started but installation got failed with below messages.

Installing the packages...

error: Failed dependencies:

libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so) is needed by curl-7.52.1-1.ppc

libssl.a(libssl.so) is needed by curl-7.52.1-1.ppc

libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so) is needed by python-2.7.10-1.ppc

libssl.a(libssl.so) is needed by python-2.7.10-1.ppc

libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so) is needed by python-pycurl-7.19.3-1.ppc

Yum installation failed.

If the failure was due to a space issue, increase the size of /opt and re-run yum.sh

or install the downloaded packages from /tmp/yum-20210920223139 manually.

Another reason for failure could be mixing of Toolbox packages and packages from other sources.

I tried after increasing /opt size, but no success, got same output.Please suggest!

Hi

To resolve dependency issues you can use yum, now dnf to install from the IBM repo.

You can follow

Ref: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/aix-old-open-source-rpm-packages-clean-then-use-yum

to clean up old rpms and start fresh.

Please review and implement on test first.
