I'm not sure but your rpm does state it's for 5.1 not 5.2.

Is there a 5.2 version available?

Subject: [aix-l] geninstall failure after 5.2 upgrade

All,

I recently upgraded my IBM H80 from 4.3.3 to 5.2. I'm
trying to get the AIX-linux toolbox version of lsof to
install, and I'm getting an error. Here's what it
looks like:

secm01px root /tmp/steve
> ls -l
total 680
drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 512 Oct 27
13:11 .
drwxrwxrwt 6 bin bin 10240 Oct 27
13:19 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 328333 Oct 27
13:11 lsof-4.61-3.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
secm01px root /tmp/steve
> geninstall -d /tmp/steve lsof-4.61-3.aix5.1.ppc.rpm

Validating RPM package selections ...

                          RPM Error Summary:
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following errors occurred during installation:
error: failed dependencies:
        AIX-rpm >= 5.0.0.0 is needed by lsof-4.61-3
        libc.a(shr.o) is needed by lsof-4.61-3

Here's what my rpm output looks like:

secm01px root /tmp/steve
> rpm -qa
cdrecord-1.9-4
mkisofs-1.13-4

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing here?

Thanks!
