  • 1.  DNF Errors after AIX 7.3 TL01 was updated AIX 7.3 TL02

    Posted 14 days ago

    We had a working local DNF repository created when we installed AIX 7.3 TL01. We updated the OS to AIX 7.3 TL02 without first updating DNF and related python 3.9 updates. rpm.rte is at 4.18.1.2001 and will be updated to 4.18.1.2003 tomrrow. When we run any dnf command we get the following error:

    Traceback (most recent call last):

    We downloaded the latest toolbox ISO and tried running the dnf_aixtoolbox_local.sh and it fails with the following error:

    If the failure was due to a space issue, increase the size of /opt and re-run the script again.
    Another reason for failure could be mixing of Toolbox packages and packages from other sources.

    Please check the failure error, correct it and retry again.

    IF you could offer any assistance in aiding us to rectify this issue, it would be gratefully appreciated.

    Thank you in advance

    Hi Brian.

    There are a few matches for this on this community. But it sounds like you had the same issue as I did.
    The way around this is to update DNF from the latest toolbox set before the AIX v7.3 TL02 update.
    However that's a bit late now, obviously ;^)

    The answer is in the Failed dependancies list:

    error: Failed dependencies:
            libpython3.7m.so is needed by (installed) python3-libdnf-0.39.1-64_50.ppc
            libpython3.7m.so is needed by (installed) python3-hawkey-0.39.1-64_50.ppc
            libpython3.7m.so is needed by (installed) python3-librepo-1.11.0-100.ppc
            dnf-data = 4.2.17-64_6 is needed by python3.9-dnf-4.2.17-64_6.noarch
            libdnf = 0.39.1-64_5 is needed by python3.9-hawkey-0.39.1-64_5.ppc
            libdnf = 0.39.1-64_5 is needed by python3.9-libdnf-0.39.1-64_5.ppc
            librepo = 1.11.0-64_2 is needed by python3.9-librepo-1.11.0-64_2.ppc

    Review the "needed by" packages along with hints from https://community.ibm.com/community/user/power/discussion/migrating-to-python39-for-aix-toolbox-python3-ecosystem#bm894a7503-8015-4bf4-a5d5-197f17645d3b

    I needed to uninstall each of those packages - I took my start point from the instructions in the link from answer #45 but needed to take a few out from the uninstall list as a few of them were not present on my system.

     #########################

    This problem happens when we do dnf update without updating rpm.rte to the latest one as per the recommendation.

    The required packages aren't in sync.

    Here libcomps has been updated to python3-libcomps-0.1.15-101 but failed to update python3-3.9.16-2.ppc.

    python3-libcomps-0.1.15-101 isn't compatible with python3-3.7.x.

    Hence it's necessary to update both python3.9 and python3-libcomps.

    To workaround current situation one option would be to remove some of the DNF specific packages.

    rpm -e libcomps python3.9-libcomps python3-libcomps python3-dnf dnf dnf-automatic dnf-data libdnf python3-hawkey python3-libdnf

    And run dnf_aixtoolbox.sh script which should take care of updating to latest rpm.rte and installing required packages and then do the "dnf update".

    ##########################

     I did try uninstalling packages one at a time but hit dependencies, so it works better with the full list in one command - in my case:
    rpm -e libcomps python3-libcomps python3-dnf dnf dnf-automatic dnf-data libdnf python3-hawkey python3-libdnf librepo python3-librepo

    When I re-tried the install I then hit an error about the python version so uninstalled that too:
    rpm -e python3.9-3.9.18-1.ppc
     

    After removing Python the install script worked cleanly.

    Hope this helps, good luck !

    Been there too ;) 

    Basically the steps Rich described, should do the trick.

    In my case I had to do couple of "trials and errors" before it started to work.

    In short: 

    • Remove all dnf-related packages
    • Remove all python packages
    • + Remove also ALL other  packages of which  dnf_bundle_aix_73 says "Skipping" on your error (otherwise those will haunt U again on re-installation..) 

    Then have the latest dnf_bundle_aix_73.tar ; extract it and run  install_dnf.sh -y 

    Not to mention to have all possible backups in store before starting ... :D

    Hi Brian,

    Yes. Whatever the suggestion Rich mentioned should work for you case.

    To avoid these errors later we always recommend users to update to latest toolbox packages ?

    Since you mentioned about local DNF repo, you had any restrictiond to update to latest DNF packages from AIX Toolbox ?

    Yes, Richard's suggestion worked for us.

    We mount a local repository because our server has not internet connectivity.

    We will make sure to have the latest ToolBox available for this eventuallity.

    Thank you again

    Sincerely
