    I recently upgraded the freeware packages on an AIX 7.1 system to use yum.   Everything was working fine until I upgraded gettext.   

    I immediately started getting the following message from rpm, yum and several other applications including git.
     

    "Dependent module /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a(libintl.so.8) could not be loaded. Member libintl.so.8 is not found in archive".

    Digging further and comparing dump -a output against another system, I noticed that the so.8 member was missing from the 32 bit library, but not the 64.
    I haven't had time to sort out which applications are using 64 vs 32 bit.  It's probably a mess.

    I've temporarily fixed the problem by taking the older library, copying it over to a separate place, and doing some LIBPATH magic.
    I wanted to mention it here, so that it's fixed properly.
