I try to update my computer,
My version is Cauldron.
When i run urpmi.update, i receive this message : "une erreur fatale est apparue impossible de trouver un miroir dans la liste $MIRRORLIST" which would be in english : "a fatal error appeared unable to find a mirror in the mirorlist"
When i run echo $MIRRORLIST, env var is empty.

And you don't simply run "urpmi.update" as this is missing any parameter.

I use
Code: Select all
urpmi --auto-update --auto-select
for getting latest updates.



And to use Cauldron I do:
Code: Select all
urpmi.removemedia -a
urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist 'http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.cauldron.x86_64.list'
urpmi --auto-update --auto-select


I don not have $MIRRORLIST

But when I do
Code: Select all
urpmq --list-url
I get the full list of all medias with URL's.

Maybe you can use this information.

I had the same problem. It didn't want to run using mirrorlist. I had to add a specific mirror and it worked fine.

FWIW, --auto-update does include --auto-select already, so having both is redundant / useless.
