bash-5.2# dnf install rust Last metadata expiration check: 1 day, 4:00:30 ago on Tue Jul 22 04:31:45 EDT 2025. Error: Problem: package rust-1.86.0-250527.ppc requires rust1.86 >= 1.86.0, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install the best candidate for the job - nothing provides libunwind.a(libunwind.so.1) needed by rust1.86-1.86.0-250516.ppc - nothing provides libc++.a(libc++.so.1) needed by rust1.86-1.86.0-250516.ppc - nothing provides libc++abi.a(libc++abi.so.1) needed by rust1.86-1.86.0-250516.ppc - nothing provides libunwind.a(libunwind.so.1) needed by rust1.86-1.86.0-250527.ppc - nothing provides libc++.a(libc++.so.1) needed by rust1.86-1.86.0-250527.ppc - nothing provides libc++abi.a(libc++abi.so.1) needed by rust1.86-1.86.0-250527.ppc (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages) 

Thanks in advance for any help

  • Do you have set proper repos for dnf? developer.ibm.com/tutorials/… Commented Jul 23 at 12:44
  • @RomeoNinov, you mean settings in /opt/freeware/etc/dnf/dnf.conf ? Commented Jul 23 at 13:52
  • Yes, and ensure it contain the proper repos (as per document) Commented Jul 23 at 14:55
  • You can check it with command dnf repolist Commented Jul 23 at 14:56
  • Might these be components of xlC? Commented Jul 29 at 15:52

I found a solution. Needed files are included in filesets (native AIX distribution package): https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/fix-list-xl-cc-runtime-aix. To Make rpm know about installed files form fileset is running updtvpkg, regarding to this article: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/understanding-aix-virtual-rpm-package-rpmrte . And the rust installs correctly!
