rpmdrake-6.20-1.mga5.noarch.rpm is in the Cauldron repo
But when I use the graphical tool in Mageia Control Center to update my Mageia 5 beta 3, this rpm is not shown.
When I then choose add/remove software and search for rpmdrake, version 6.20 is listed next to the installed version 6.19

Why is it not updated automatically?

IIUC that's because cauldron has now been updated to mga5 Official

Code: Select all

$ cat /etc/product.id
vendor=Mageia.Org,distribution=Mageia,type=Basic,version=5,branch=Official,release=5,arch=x86_64,product=Default

On "Official" releases mga-update only checks repo's that are tagged as update repo's:

Code: Select all

$ urpmq --list-media update

will list the repo's that you have tagged as update repo's.

The rpmdrake update is in the /core/release repo, which is not normally tagged as an update repo. (On development releases mga-update checks the /release/ repo's even when they are not tagged as update repo's.)

Until Mageia 5 is officially released, you should use

Code: Select all

# urpmi --auto-update

or "Install and Remove software" to update your system.
