python 3.9 update before dnf migrate

  • 1.  python 3.9 update before dnf migrate

    Hi,

    As we got various dnf troubles since python 3.9 arrival which produces vast hassles to cope with, is it now necessary to migrate

    to python 3.9 BEFORE doing dnf migrations ( 7.2 to 73)?  the dnf bundles are having 3.9 packages already so it smells like this might

    be to root cause.

    We have massive problems updating our systems. It is simply not possible to update with "dnf update"

    #dnf update

    Hello Sangamesh,

    repo is from June 20th. Just for fun I removed all RPM's from my testsystem and tried to install the newly packed dnf_bundle_aix_73.tar.
    Even that was not possible without editing the install script to "rpm -Uvh --nodeps ${install_list[@]}"

    Just updating our test repo the latest and try again.

    Update: first attempt failed with the same error as before... After a updtvpkg it worked and updated the packages.

    I don't know how to manage this when it comes to migrate all of our systems to AIX 7.3. I don't have that much time in the night to do that on all updated system by hand...

    Regards...

    Hi Joerg,

    We wouldn't know if --nodeps causes other errors.

    Could you let me know what error you faced with the new bundle ?

    There was a typo mistake in the install script of new bundle while doing release comparison and not sure if the problem you faced is due to this.

    Anyway, this is corrected and updated bundle has been uploaded.

    If the failure was due to a space issue, increase the size of /opt and re-run the script again.
    Another reason for failure could be mixing of Toolbox packages and packages from other sources.
     
    You can try installing the downloaded dnf packages from /tmp/dnf-20230703082014 manually.
    I now added the option "--nodeps" to the "rpm -Uhv" command and that worked so far.
    But then I got the error:

    :/root#dnf
    bash: /usr/bin/dnf: /opt/freeware/bin/python3: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
    There was no link set to "/opt/freeware/bin/python3"
    after creating the link to "/opt/freeware/bin/python3.9" dnf worked well and I could update all the rpm's from the toolbox.
    regards,
    Joerg

    Hi Joerg,

    Ideally, dnf update with the latest repo from toolbox should update DNF to python3.9 based DNF and other packages as well.

    For example. libxml2-python3 and salt which are still based on python3.3.7.x

    What error you had while doing "dnf update"?

    Hi Sangamesh,

    my fault, on this server the rpm.rte file was not updated...
    Sorry for that.
    Now dnf update works.

    Thanks for your time and support...

    kind regards,
    Joerg

    Joerg

    Hi Chris,

    Dnf bundle now has been update to take care of two scenarios.

    1. With python3-3.7.x based DNF and migrate to 7.3
    2. With python3-3.9 based DNF and migrate to 7.3

    I am attaching the migration test I have done with some of the python3-3.7 rpms installed.

    Could you let me know the rpm packages you have installed and want to migrate to 7.3  and what would be your preferred method ?

    I will check if any other scenarios we have not covered

    Okay. If you have done the sync already may be 2-3 hours back then these are the latest one.

    a few remarks....in my environment everything is on dnf, no old yum remainings. we have a mix of AIX 7.2 and AIX 7.3 lpars. openssl and rpm.rte are already on there need versions everywhere. there is an ongoing process of updating AIX 7.2 to AIX 7.3. this is where the troubles begin.

    in this scenario, after booting into AIX 7.3...shouldnt it be enought to...

    1) modifiy dnf.conf to point to the aix 7.3 branch in the repo

    2) run dnf update -y python3 dnf 

    ...to migrate dnf to the python3.9 based version and get the fitting 64bit parts for aix 7.3?

     or is  dnf_aixtoolbox.sh still needed in this scenario?

    chris

    Hi Chris,

    When we migrate from 7.2 to 7.3 rpm version changes from 32 to 64-bit and the libraries required for DNF as well.

    Our DNF still will be 32-bit based and looking for 32-bit libraries which doesn't exists.

    So, even if we changes the dnf.conf file DNF won't be loaded and it's necessary to run dnf_aixtoolbox.sh scrip to migrate to 64-bit DNF.
