The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction.
You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'.

Update not occuring. Tries the following dnf update --allowerasing, , dnf update --skip-broken . Nothing is working. Thanks in advance.

You installed (CentOS) 3rd party packages from an unknown source. You should know yourself how and why you did this. You can see this at the naming of the packages:

Code: Select all

anthy-9100h-26.el7.x86_64

This CentOS (el17) packages are not provided or maintained by Mageia and they are incompatible with the packages provided by Mageia. Dnf tries to install the official Mageia versions but is not able to, because you have higher versions (not supplied by Mageia) installed. So you borked your system.

Remove this third party packages, clean your system and retry your update.

No idea what those packages were. One of them pertained to claws mail. Since I do not use it. It was removed. Problem fixed. Thanks.

[sturmvogel]

If you install claws-mail from Mageia repositories it only pulls Mageia dependencys. So you must have installed the CentOS packages by hand.

Please don't forget to mark this topic solved by editing the title of your first post and adding [Solved] to it. Thanks ahead.

[nwtmg]

I would have no idea how to install that package by hand. Especially not from centos.

[sturmvogel]

"By hand" can also mean that you added external repositories via dnf. As the CentOS package versions (for lensfun, compface, anthy) where higher than the ones from Mageia, the CentOS versions got installed.

So you should check the contents of /etc/yum.repos.d for any external repositories.

[nwtmg]

contents of /etc/yum.repos.d

Code: Select all

epel.repo          google-earth-pro.repo  mageia-i586.repo          mageia-nonfree-x86_64.repo         mageia-tainted-i586.repo    mageia-tainted-x86_64-source.repo  mageia-x86_64-source.repo
epel-testing.repo  Kolab:16.repo          mageia-nonfree-i586.repo  mageia-nonfree-x86_64-source.repo  mageia-tainted-x86_64.repo  mageia-x86_64.repo                 skype-stable.repo


Checked the Kolab and located thiis

Code: Select all

http://obs.kolabsys.com/repositories/Kolab:/16/RHEL_7/


Looked at the url. I must have downloaded something some time ago.

[sturmvogel]

Code: Select all

epel.repo
epel-testing.repo
Kolab:16.repo


This are repos which don't belong on a Mageia system.

now gone. Thanks.
