I used DNF to upgrade to the beta. I substitutes 'cauldron' for '8' as the new version, because using '8' gave me the following error for each repo:
Error: Failed to download metadata for repo '<repo name>': Cannot prepare internal mirrorlist: No URLs in mirrorlist

After the upgrade I get the same error when I run dnf --refresh for all of the Mageia 8 repos. I do get the Mageia Cauldron repos though:

Can someone give me a hint on how to fix this?

As long as 8 is not released, what you're running is a snapshot of cauldron.
The repos you use are cauldron repos, and as soon as you run an update what you run is cauldron.

Can you please show what your repo definitions are currently looking like ?

My Cauldron x86_64 are enabled, but the i586 and the rest are disabled (based upon the files). I tried enabling them as the list from last time shows, but for some reason they're Mageia 8. I'm not sure where the Mageia 8 repos are coming from. I listed the contents of /etc/yum.repos.d below as well.

Nevermind. I see that I have both for some reason. I'll disable the Mageia 8 ones and enable the Cauldron ones and report on my progress.

All better now, thanks.
