  • 1.  rpm packages build with AIX 7.3 are not installable on 7.2

    Posted Mon February 14, 2022 10:11 AM

    Hi folks,

    last week I've upgraded our rpm build server to AIX 7.3 without any problem.
    Today I build some rpm's on that system and wanted to test the packages on a few systems.
    Unfortunately the system on AIX 7.2 got an error and I could not install or update the packages:

    Error: Transaction test error:
    package COOPmetricbeat-1.0-3.noarch is intended for a different operating system
    package COOPlpardiskG1000-2.2-2.noarch is intended for a different operating system

    Is that normal? How can I build new packages to make them installable on AIX 7.2?

    Many thanks for your help in advance...

    Best regards,
    Joerg

    Hi Joerg,
    It is not recommended/supported to build a package on higher AIX release and install on lower AIX release.
    This is against binary compatibility. You may build on lower AIX release and install on higher AIX release.
    If you really want to build once and install on other AIX servers then your build system should be at lowest AIX release.

    Hello Sanket,

    So, I have to go back to 7.2 then.
    thanks for your explanation and your time.

    best regards
    Joerg
