UNIX for Beginners Q & A

We did a NIMADM update from AIX v7.2 to v7.3. We are trying to get dnf working again but keep getting this error:

x:/# dnf list repo
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/dnf", line 57, in <module>
    from dnf.cli import main
  File "/opt/freeware/lib/python3.9/site-packages/dnf/__init__.py", line 32, in <module>

        0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.

The assistance found on the web is greatly outdated or very confusing. Any assistance is appreciated

I'm no AIX expert but it seems that you are not alone.

Have you read this (which is a reasonably recent post)?
