I thought my current sudo session is locking up some sudo files installed in /var and /opt, so I log off all sudo session and login as root directly to re-run the sudo upgrade, same error.

Then when I try to start a new sudo session I get the following error:

$ sudo su - 
sudo: error in /etc/sudo.conf, line 0 while loading plugin "sudoers_policy"
sudo: unable to load /opt/freeware/libexec/sudo/sudoers.so:     0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for /opt/freeware/lib/liblber.a(liblber-2.4.so.2) because:

        0509-192 Examine .loader section symbols with the

I checked that all library files above exists except for the /etc/sudo.conf which I never use before. 

root@server:/tmp>ls -l /opt/freeware/libexec/sudo/sudoers.so

Appreciate if someone can help.

There seems to be a dependency problem with the recently published openldap rpm. It has a dependency on gcc 6.3.0 which is not set in the rpm. 

Update gcc to 6.3.0 version from AIX Toolbox that will fix this issue.

When I try to install the gcc 6.3.0 I failed the dependency check as follow:

root@server:/tmp>rpm -Uvh --test gcc-6.3.0-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        libgcc = 6.3.0-1 is needed by gcc-6.3.0-1.ppc
        gcc-cpp = 6.3.0-1 is needed by gcc-6.3.0-1.ppc
        AIX-rpm < 7.2.0.0 is needed by gcc-6.3.0-1.ppc

Can you please let me know where to download the AIX-rpm ? Is it on the AIX install DVD image ?

You need only libgcc rpm in this case. Ignore gcc rpm. 

Get the rpm version specific to your AIX version. Which version of AIX you are using ?

I'm using AIX 7.2 TL2 SP2.

Do I need a AIX-rpm version < 7.2.0.0 ?

error: Failed dependencies:

You need a libgcc built in AIX 7.2. Get it from here --> ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc-7.2/gcc/libgcc-6.3.0-1.aix7.2.ppc.rpm

thanks a lot., the sudo works fine now.

Can I safely ignore the warning message from the installation about /var and /opt being busy?
