Mageia forum

Hi,

I've just installed Mageia 4.1 64-bit on my second notebook. Everything went ok, but I'm unable to update packages. For example, I have old Firefox (24.5.0), while there is update available to 24.7.0 if I remember correctly.

Code: Select all

[root@localhost adam]# urpmi.update -a
nośnik Live Core jest aktualny
nośnik Live Nonfree jest aktualny
nośnik Core Release jest aktualny
nośnik Core Updates jest aktualny
nośnik Nonfree Release jest aktualny
nośnik Nonfree Updates jest aktualny
nośnik Tainted Release jest aktualny
nośnik Tainted Updates jest aktualny
nośnik Core 32bit Release jest aktualny
nośnik Core 32bit Updates jest aktualny
nośnik Nonfree 32bit Release jest aktualny
nośnik Nonfree 32bit Updates jest aktualny

sorry for Polish, those entries means that repos are up to date

Code: Select all

urpmi --auto-select
Oprogramowanie jest zaktualizowane


It means that software is up to date.

Code: Select all

[root@localhost adam]# urpmq --list-media active

Core 32bit Release

Something went wrong, may someone help me?

Please prefix commands by LC_ALL=C so that they will show english output, that's much easier.

Please show the output of

Code: Select all

urpmq --list-media active --list-url

Auto-select doesn't update the package lists first. You'll either need to update them manually or wait for mageia update to perform its first check. You can also use urpmi --auto-update which does update the package lists before looking for anything new.

Which is what the OP did. The problem is most likely to be mirror related, hence the doktor's request.

Only trying to help..

Well, no hard feelings over here. Maybe you want to take a few days off, and leave QA and support stuff simply be - just relax
Read your mail to council ml yesterday and was appaled ...

I'm located in Australia, and I've had troubles connecting to $Mirrorlist. I'm not sure how long for, but I hadn't had updates for ages.

Removed mirrorlist, and added a local mirror, then boom, updates galore. So, perhaps try setting a set mirror?

Actually that's always a good recommendation. Find out what mirror works good for you, and keep using that one,
If it gives issues, remove all repos and select another mirror. (rinse and repeat)
