Mageia forum

Hi all. This may have been covered before. Tried to google this problem but struggled to find a solution. Note the last line which prevents urpmi from working and installing packages.
Any ideas?

Code: Select all

urpmi --auto-update
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LANGUAGE = "en_AU.UTF-8",
        LC_ALL = (unset),
        LC_SOURCED = "1",
        LANG = "en_AU.UTF-8"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
Int64.c: loadable library and perl binaries are mismatched (got handshake key 0xdb00080, needed 0xce00080)

More info - but a long post .....

The locale warnings can be ignored, they don't cause any issues.

You may want to add some context information. Is this a regular update, or did you perform some kind of upgrade from a different Mageia release beforehand ?

For the "loadable library and perl binaries are mismatched" error, you may want to have a look at viewtopic.php?t=13165&p=77135

Thanks for your comments. This system has the dnf package manager installed. Following your link I tried these suggestions.

systemctl stop dnf-makecache && systemctl disable dnf-makecache && systemctl mask dnf-makecache

and

systemctl stop dnf-makecache.timer && systemctl mask dnf-makecache.timer && systemctl daemon-reload

result is

Failed to dump process list, ignoring: Unit dnf-makecache.service is masked.
● dnf-makecache.service
Loaded: masked (/dev/null; bad)
Active: inactive (dead)

Unfortunately I still have no package manager - Cannot urpme dnf .... so not sure where to go with this. I believe the system was upgraded last year.

What do you mean you have no package manager ?

Also, as you didn't really answer that - so this system was upgraded last year from Mageia 6 to 7, correct? And did it work OK afterwards, or why are you only reporting this now - what changed recently ?

Yes it was upgraded from Mageia 6 to 7. Yes dnf has not worked for some time. Mageia is on a box that is not used full time. It runs my CAD system when I need it, thus the delay in tackling this problem. It would be nice to fix this, however if not, I will run the box as it stands until the next major update.

Currently anything I try to do with urpm does not work, and dnf is masked.

You may need to manually upgrade some of the packages. Let's see what you have currently, please post the output of

Hmmm - does not look good

You would have to manually update the remaining package in one transaction, and remove the duplicate perl-5.22.3-3.2.mga6 package.

Although you might need to extend that list manually until you have all the packages for the transaction.

Thanks. I am still trying to understand the i586 bit. Do I need it? Do I have i586 programs on this computer? Here is the results of the command. I am happy to continue with this - just need steering in the right direction.

Sorry, my bad - you're correct, you would need to replace that with x86_64.

So those packages are which would be needed for the transaction. Newer (mga7) python2-rpm, python3-rpm, perl-Filesys-Df, perl-Term-ReadKey and perl-base.

I encountered the same problem you are encountering, described here:
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13165

Ultimately, I uninstalled dnf completely. That helped. Did not solve the problem, but helped.

Thanks, when I have exhausted the attempted upgrades - I will fall back to this

Hi all. Removing the dnf package has not resolved my problem. From their, I used rpm to attempt an upgrade of perl to a newer mageia 7 version. However I could not satisfy a dependency as perl-base was uninstallable. I was able to install zypper package manager and attempted to use this to upgrade perl. But this too suffered the same result as previous. I also manually downloaded packages and created a local repo. But this did not alter things. What do you think about installing Mageia 7.1? When I look at my list of installed packages, I can see many mageia 6 software versions still installed. What about downloading the latest Mageia 7.1 image and doing a new install. I will back up my home directory and get a fresh start by reinstalling with the latest packages. Any observations/comments appreciated.

It should still be possible to simply download the free DVD, and do an "upgrade" installation. It should be able to complete the upgrade.

Otherwise, you can always do a fresh installation, but keep your separate /home filesystem, although you'll lose other customizations that are not stored below your /home folder.

Also, wanted to say that earlier: dnf uninstallation would not solve any dependency problem, it was just the cause of a totally different issue, which was mixed into the other thread, next to the "loadable library and perl binaries are mismatched" issues.
And you should probably not attempt to uninstall perl-base, you should simply rpm -Uvh all the required packages. Did you try that and could you post the output/error you got from that?
Only one other guy posted something like that, although he didn't mention all involved packages - the "had to repair perl5 update state" bullet from viewtopic.php?p=77241#p77241

Thanks for the link and feedback. I want to try some suggestions from this user e.g. rpmdb --rebuilddb before I proceed to reinstall.

Just to conclude . . . . Mageia 7.1 is now installed on this machine. This thread is resolved.

Not sure about this. Anyone looking for a solution to "Perl binaries mismatch" will find this topic - but I opted to update, thus not really finding a solution.

Well, you mentioned it's resolved - but not what you actually did to achieve that.
