So I suggest lslpp hardcodes /usr/bin/tr

I am just a messenger.
lslpp is AIX-specific, so it can assume AIX-specific extensions to tr.
And used frequently. it is the equivalent of rpm -qa (in fact it is
supposed to call rpm, but that might be failing - the second error
message - because tr is failing)
How about if we make 'tr -A' compatible with AIX practice? It would
make for one less objection to using coreutils on AIX, and it
shouldn't be hard to add.
That would be ideal :)
