Updating to python 2.7.17.1 breaks yum.    Is there another package that needs an update?

Could not load program /opt/freeware/bin/python2:
Symbol resolution failed for /usr/lib/libpython2.7.so because:
        Symbol _GLOBAL__AIXI_libsqlite3_so (number 219) is not exported from dependent
          module /opt/freeware/lib/libsqlite3.so.
        Symbol _GLOBAL__AIXD_libsqlite3_so (number 220) is not exported from dependent
          module /opt/freeware/lib/libsqlite3.so.
Examine .loader section symbols with the 'dump -Tv' command.

pysqlite.ppc installed version 2.8.3-2  (last updated Oct 28, 2019)

As far as I can tell with yum list, these are the latest versions available from AIX_Toolbox.

I was able to resolve this issue.  On my test system, the libsqlite3.so object was not updated for some reason, even though I had the most recent version of sqlite.  This was the only system in my environment that had this situation, probably due to some prior testing on my part.

 To resolve:

ls -l /opt/freeware/lib/sqlite*

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     system      8614644 Jun 11 2019  libsqlite3.a
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     system      1929034 Jul  8 2017  libsqlite3.so

ar -x libsqlite3.a

ls -l  shows the new version of libsqlite3.so:

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     system      4009539 Mar 31 09:22 libsqlite3.so.0

mv libsqlite3.so.0  libsqlite3.so

Now I am able to update to python 2.7.17-1 with no issues.
