rpmlib dependency
by stucker1 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#504P0)
I am on AIX 6.1 TL 7. I am trying to install ncurses -6.1-2, which I downloaded from https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ai...ions-downloads
I get the following error using smit install:
"error: failed dependencies:
rpmlib(PartialHardlinkSets) <= 4.0.4-1 is needed by ncurses-6.1-2"
I have checked and my rpm version is 3.0.5, but I don't see rpmlib installed as a fileset (I am not even sure it is a separate fileset).
I have looked all over and so far have found no solution. I am not sure if I need to find rpmlib, or do something with rpm itself.
I have run /usr/sbin/updtvpkg but still get the same error trying to install ncurses.
Any help resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
