[SOLVED] hplip blocks Mandriva -> Mageia update

[doktor5000]

I tried updating online from Mandriva 2010.2, but the update appears to have come to a grinding halt.

I downloaded and installed mgaonline, and followed the CLI route. This eventually finished with the following error report:

Code: Select all

installing perl-CPANPLUS-Dist-Build-0.540.0-1.mga1.noarch.rpm from /var/cache/urpmi/rpms
Installation failed:    hplip >= 2.8.2-2mdv is needed by task-printing-hp-2010-4.mga1.x86_64
        perl-base >= 2:5.12.3 is needed by perl-MDV-Distribconf-4.02-6.mga1.noarch
        perl-base >= 2:5.12.3 is needed by urpmi-6.40-9.mga1.noarch
        perl-base >= 2:5.12.3 is needed by perl-CPANPLUS-Dist-Build-0.540.0-1.mga1.noarch

and the Mandriva update tool reports the same error.

According to the rpm tool I have Mandriva versions 3.11.5 of hplip and 5.10.1 of perl-base installed.

When I try do do a software update using RMPDrake I get the following:

Rpmdrake or one of its priority dependencies needs to be updated first. Rpmdrake will then restart.

Is it ok to continue?

I select OK and then I get:

There was a problem during the installation:

I seem to have a half-upgraded system so where do I go from here?

I think I sorted this out, by removing hplip and then running the rpm updater again. That seemed to work and 2000+ packages later I appear to have a working Mageia 1 system.

Please use Code-Tags next time you post such output, improves on readability

That sounds alot like the problem I had in bug 1600, it could be exactly the same cause. I wonder how many people with an HP printer have given up on Mageia as being broken

[doktor5000]

The cause is that hplip is available as newer version in Mandriva, so update would fail because of that.
I.e. hplip is 3.11.3 at Mageia, and 3.11.5 at Mandriva with latest updates. So remove hplip and you should be able to continue the update, like the OP did.
