  • 1.  yum repolist issue and curl error

    Posted Mon March 06, 2023 05:57 PM

    Hi,

    On several of my systems, 'yum repolist' returns

    https://anonymous:anonymous@public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#35 - "error:0609D09C:lib(6):func(157):reason(156)"

    Trying other mirror.

    repo id                                            repo name                                                   status

    AIX_Toolbox                                        AIX generic repository                                      0

    AIX_Toolbox_72                                     AIX 7.2 specific repository                                 0

    AIX_Toolbox_noarch                                 AIX noarch repository                                       0

    CMC                                                CMC repository                                              0

    repolist: 0

    I have tried 'yum clean all' and reinstalling ca-certificates. I even downloaded the latest 

    yum_bundle.tar 

    but since the packages installed are at the same level, I get messages like

    error: Failed dependencies:

            python < 2.7.18-2 conflicts with (installed) python-devel-2.7.18-2.ppc

    The --force, --reinstall, --replacefiles, and --replacepkgs options do not help.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you!

    I got it working by selectively downgrading curl and python-pycurl to the versions that came with the yum_bundle.tar file. The version of curl that gave me a headache is

    curl-7.86.0-1.ppc

    And the version of curl I downgraded to that worked is

    curl-7.52.1-1.ppc

    Thanks Tai, I had the same issue and I am glad I found your post!

    I installed git with yum, and the git installation pulled curl-7.86.0-1.ppc. Downgrading curl to 7.52.1 didn't work - after the downgrade, yum was complaining about expired certificates. I downgraded to:

    curl-7.79.1-1.ppc

    and it worked.
