AIX-rpm is actually a "virtual" package which reflects what has been installed on the system by installp. It is created by the /usr/sbin/updtvpkg script when the rpm.rte is installed.
Since AIX-rpm has to have some sort of version number, it simply reflects the level of bos.rte on the system where /usr/sbin/updtvpkg is being run. It's just informational.
However, if you are on some slower systems with lots of software installed, /usr/sbin/updtvpkg may take a long time so wait a while. :)
If you want to run the command manually:# /usr/sbin/updtvpkg
If you get an error similar to "cannot read header at 20760 for lookup" when running updtvpkg, run a rpm rebuilddb: # rpm --rebuilddb
Once you run updtvpkg, you can run a rpm -qa to see your new AIX-rpm package.
Thats all folks!
