[SOLVED] software management fails on mga4 (Perl?)

[magfan]

Hi,

I have a strange problem on Mageia 4. When I tried to add a new software package with mcc I got the following bug report:

Code: Select all

Das Programm "drakrpm" ist mit folgender Fehlermeldung abgestürzt (segfault):

Maybe one of the latest updates caused this behavior. Unfortunately, I cannot install / remove / update any software package now. What can I do?

Does urpmi still work?

[magfan]

No, it does not. It also stops with a segfault.

[doktor5000]

Then you can only try to fetch relevant urpmi and perl-URPM and then run rpm -e --nodeps urpmi perl-URPM; rpm -ihv urpmi perl-URPM
But that will probably not cure that perl issue. You will probably need to manually overwrite the offending file, once you know which one it is.

You better report that as a bug.

Finally I could solve the problem. I had to use the Mageia 4.1 installation DVD and select Installation->Update. After restarting the system I had to run a file system check because the partition with the root directory got corrupted. After running fsck manually I could install the following packages using rpm -hiv --force:

Code: Select all

gurpmi-7.31-1.mga4.noarch.rpm
perl-5.18.1-3.2.mga4.x86_64.rpm
perl-URPM-4.30-1.mga4.x86_64.rpm
perl-base-5.18.1-3.2.mga4.x86_64.rpm
urpmi-7.31-1.mga4.noarch.rpm

Now everything is working again. I do not know why I had to use the installation DVD because it does not contain newer versions of the installed software packages. But before running through this update process I could not even use rpm to re-install something. I always got a segfault:

Code: Select all

# rpm -hiv –force urpmi-7.31-1.mga4.noarch.rpm
