Question & Answer
Question
- What is this package?
- Why am I sometimes advised to run updtvpkg to update this package?
Answer
Most RPM packages depend on basic AIX libraries and executables (like libc.a and ksh). These files are not provided by an RPM package, so RPM is unaware of their existence.
Example:
# rpm -qa | grep AIX-rpm AIX-rpm-7.2.3.0-1.ppc # updtvpkg
Please wait... # rpm -qa | grep AIX-rpm
AIX-rpm-7.2.3.15-2.ppc |
