mageia mirrors miss some packages

Postby linuxfreund » Dec 5th, '21, 10:46

Yesterday I wanted to install a fresh mga8 on a laptop. I used the image for network installations on a USB stick. But several attempts ended with the same error message. The server was missing some packages. Therefore, the installer ended up with unsolvable dependencies. I tested ftp.fau.de and ftp.fi.muni.cz
Can anyone confirm that? Or did I make a mistake?

At the moment both mirrors are up to date:

Did you check the checksums of your netinstaller?
Can you remember some of the missing dependencies?
Which netinstaller did you try? The free or the nonfree?

You did not tell more exactly what the error message was.

Could it be this bug?: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29624
Fix for that is on its way.

If this bug, try install without updates repo enabled. Or use an installer or Live iso.
