    I do not know why /opt/freeware/lib/python3.9/site-packages/libdnf/_common_types.so is loading /usr/opt/rpm/lib.

    # echo $LIBPATH

    This should be empty.

    If this is empty, then you need to check your other packages.

    For example, I have the following:

    # rpm -qf /opt/freeware/lib/python3.9/site-packages/libdnf/_common_types.so

    python3.9-libdnf-0.39.1-32_52.ppc

    The search path looks in /opt/freeware/lib first.

    # dump -Hv /opt/freeware/lib/python3.9/site-packages/libdnf/_common_types.so | grep ":"

    0 /opt/freeware/lib:/usr/opt/rpm/lib:/opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix7.1.0.0/8/pthread:/opt/freeware/lib/pthread:/opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix7.1.0.0/8:/usr/lib:/lib

    I have the required symbols:

    # dump -Tv /opt/freeware/lib/libbz2.a | grep _GLOBAL__AIXD_libbz2_so

    [22] 0x20001abc .data EXP DS Ldef [noIMid] _GLOBAL__AIXD_libbz2_so

    # rpm -qf /opt/freeware/lib/libbz2.a

    bzip2-1.0.8-2.ppc

    executed to make null
    # export LIBPATH=
     
    After the change
    #  echo $LIBPATH
     
     
     # rpm -qf /opt/freeware/lib/python3.9/site-packages/libdnf/_common_types.so
    python3.9-libdnf-0.39.1-32_52.ppc

    OK so first, you need to make sure you do NOT have LIBPATH set for your AIX Toolbox environment.

    Next, as we saw with libiconv.a it looks like something has overwritten  /opt/freeware/lib/libbz2.a

    Check:

    ls -al  /opt/freeware/lib/libbz2.a

    dump -Hv  /opt/freeware/lib/libbz2.a

    rpm -qi bzip2-1.0.8-2.ppc

    rpm -Va bzip2-1.0.8-2.ppc

    You can try to overwrite the package. Since DNF will not run, you would have to use rpm.

    So download this:

    https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/bzip2/bzip2-1.0.8-2.aix6.1.ppc.rpm

    The reinstall:

     rpm -Uvh --force bzip2-1.0.8-2.aix6.1.ppc.rpm

    It seems that someone has been manually changing files, most likely on an error-by-error basis. If reinstalling bzip fixes one error, but then you see different load errors, I recommend that you start over again with your Open Source environment. 

    Here is a blog entry I wrote up to help, as "last resort" when users have ongoing issues due to custom file and package manipulations.

    Summary     : A file compression utility
    Description :
    Bzip2 is a freely available, patent-free, high quality data compressor.
    Bzip2 compresses files to within 10 to 15 percent of the capabilities
    of the best techniques available.  However, bzip2 has the added benefit
    of being approximately two times faster at compression and six times
    faster at decompression than those techniques.  Bzip2 is not the
    fastest compression utility, but it does strike a balance between speed
    and compression capability.
     
    Install bzip2 if you need a compression utility.
     
    The library is available as 32-bit and 64-bit.

    Shall i proceed to remove all rpms and reinstall again as per link provided by you?

    You probably need to reinstall sqlite. But as I already explained in the previous note:
