    There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
    required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

    0509-022 Cannot load module /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.a(libglib-2.0.so.0).
    0509-150 Dependent module /usr/lib/libintl.a(libintl.so.1) could not be loaded.
    0509-152 Member libintl.so.1 is not found in archive
    0509-022 Cannot load module /opt/freeware/lib/python2.7/site-packages/_sqlitecache.so.
    0509-150 Dependent module /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.a(libglib-2.0.so.0) could not be loaded.

    Please install a package which provides this module, or
    verify that the module is installed correctly.

    It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
    current version of Python, which is:
    2.7.10 (default, Jun 22 2016, 05:57:59) [C]

    If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
    the yum faq at:
    http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq

    Can you please provide the steps you used to install yum.
    How did you get all the rpms ? 
    Why did you use "--nodeps" flag to install rpms. This can result in unexpected behavior if dependencies are not met.

    Instead of yum we propose to use dnf now as yum is python2 based and python2 out of support. 
    There is dnf_aixtoolbox.sh script that you can run on your AIX system (if it has internet access) and it will install everything.
