Hi Tmb,
Tried to repeat the installation process through a different mirror. Had the same errors as before. The errors are as follows:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
installation failed. some files are missing:
ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr//p ... .x86_64rpm
ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr//p ... .x86_64rpm
You may need to update your urpmi database.

Try to continue anyway ?

On clicking "OK" to the above error, got the next error message as follows:

An error occurred:
...retrieving failed: curl failed: exited with 6

On clicking OK to the above message, got another message as follows:

1 installation transactions failed
installation of packages failed:

On clicking OK to the above message, got another message as follows:

An error occurred
installation failed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

After this could not proceed any further. So I had to quit the installation process by rebooting the server.

Please advise.

Regards,
Logan

Those files are present on that mirror, although the filename is .rpm at the end while your links are missing a . there
Also the core/release directory content for a released Mageia version is not expected to change, so once it's present on the mirror and synced it should always stay the same ...
Try clicking those links:
ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr//pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/6/x86_64/media/core/release/lib64pango-gir1.0-1.40.6-1.mga6.x86_64.rpm
ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr//pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/6/x86_64/media/core/release/lib64gtk-gir3.0-3.22.16-1.mga6.x86_64.rpm

Hi doktor5000,
That missing "." is a typo mistake that I made in my email.
I could click the links shown in your email and download the files. This means the files are not missing.

However during the installation process the files missing error messages does appear. There is nothing I could do to help the auto installation process.

Please advise.

Yeah,
there are some issues with the installer due to some of the updates that has been done...

Please wait a bit while I sort it out...

I'll notify again when its ok to test

Sorry,
It took longer than expected… various small bits needed fixing, and then I got busy by the L1TF security updates…


But now the installer tree should be in good shape, so you could try with:
http://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/mageia.org/d ... x86_64.iso

Hi Tmb,

Could not succeed.

Got following error :

"ftp://ftp.free.fr//mirrors/mageia.org/distrib/6/i586/media/core/updates/grub2-mageia-theme-2.02.0-1.1.mga6.noarch.rpm

You may need to update your urpmi database

Try to continue anyway ?"

I answered OK and it went into next set of errors.

"... retrieving failed: curl failed: exited with 6

... retrieving failed: curl failed: exited with 6"

I answered "OK" to those errors and it gave following message:

"1 installation transactions failed
installation of packages failed:"

I could not proceed any further !

Please advise.

Regards,
Logan

You might have just got unlucky, and the ftp.free.fr mirror was in the middle of updating itself at the time you tested this. Give it a second try.

Hi Martinw,

I gave another try to install everything from the beginning. Each try typically takes several hours.
The bad news is I got the same error as before (shown below):

"ftp://ftp.free.fr//mirrors/mageia.org/distrib/6/i586/media/core/updates/grub2-mageia-theme-2.02.0-1.1.mga6.noarch.rpm

You may need to update your urpmi database

I answered OK and it went into next set of errors.

"... retrieving failed: curl failed: exited with 6

... retrieving failed: curl failed: exited with 6"

I answered "OK" to those errors and it gave following message:

"1 installation transactions failed
installation of packages failed:"

Please advise whether I am doing anything wrong or different.
Was it successful when you tried.

Regards,
Logan

I've just tested an install, manually selecting ftp.free.fr as the mirror. A default 64-bit Plasma desktop install completed in under 20 minutes with no errors.

Are you located in (or near) France? If not, maybe selecting a mirror nearer to you would help.
