  • 1.  /usr/sbin/updtvpkg fails

    Posted Wed December 16, 2020 12:04 AM
    I just upgraded openssl filesets.  When I try to update the virtual AIX-rpm package I get the following error.

    root@/devarea# /usr/sbin/updtvpkg
    Please wait...rpm: -ba: unknown option

    I tried to rebuild the rpm database and that doesn't fail but rpm still does not see the updated SSL packages. 

    root@/devarea# rpm --rebuilddb
    root@/devarea# rpm -qa | grep ssl
    root@/devarea#

    Looks like updtvpkg is trying to run "rpm -ba". What version of rpm.rte is installed ?

    When we run updtvpkg only the libraries provided by fileset will be added to the AIX-rpm not the rpm package name.

    rpm -q --provides AIX-rpm | grep libcrypto
    libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so)
    libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.0.9.8)
    libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.1.0.0)
    libcrypto.a(libcrypto.so.1.0.2)
    libcrypto.a(libcrypto64.so)
