    I have resolved many of my issues regarding dnf update by fixing the replication of out of sync local repositories.  I have one issue remaining that I can't seem to find a fix for below are the error I am receiving on my AIX 7.3 system while trying to run the command dnf update.

    dnf update --refresh

    I was able to resolve the issue. We were using replicated repos which had stopped replicating some time back.  I synched the local repos with IBM's repos and everything worked without issues.  This particular issue was related to the noarch repos as we had the -a ppc option set in the reposync command but it shouldn't be used for this particular repo.
