[SOLVED] Update installation fails

Postby harkelyn » Oct 13th, '25, 16:30

Hello, I am encountering an update error message. I believe the laptop I'm using, installs updates from princeton.edu. It has been years since I initially selected the Mageia mirror list, and at this point I don't recall those procedures or understand how to investigate this.

1 installation transactions failed

There was a problem during the installation:

package kernel-desktop-6.6.105-1.mga9.x86_64 does not verify: Payload SHA256 ALT digest: BAD (Expected 49ade3e7b9391dcc41425932ef2f7b6e9598558eaeaeee4aec5a26614bf0e027 != 3f4ed15fb897822afa6335b3dbac272dcf0970179ffeac471bcf821217d46688)

update urpmi sources and try again.
Code: Select all
sudo urpmi --auto-update


Or, as root user.
Code: Select all
urpmi --auto-update

You need to run urpmi --clean first. Have a look at https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_9_Err ... g_software
