Welcome to our forum

I guess that the mirror your system autoselects is not in sync.
The mirror list function choose based on distance, but dont check if they are up to date.
There are now and then this problem. Lately an admin was away to fight extreme weather...
There are solutions discussed now and then, and i now kicked a couple bug reports on it.
To see which your system choose
$ urpmq --list-media active --list-url
To see which are up to date, see:
https://mirrors.mageia.org/status(but it may give false negatives if there are not updates for long, and then comes one - then all mirrors sydenly lag by that time. Logic, but...)
Many users like me set a specific mirror manually.
See "File -> Add a specific media mirror:" at
https://doc.mageia.org/mcc/8/en/content ... tml#d4e273For me umu.se is both close, fast, and reliable
- Code: Select all
$ LC_ALL=C sudo urpmi --test xscreensaver
To satisfy dependencies, the following packages are going to be installed:
(test only, installation will not be actually done)
Package Version Release Arch
(medium "Tainted Updates")
xscreensaver 5.45 1.5.mga8.tai> x86_64
xscreensaver-common 5.45 1.5.mga8.tai> x86_64
2.6MB of additional disk space will be used.
754KB of packages will be retrieved.
Proceed with the installation of the 2 packages? (Y/n) y
