4 installation transactions failed

There was a problem during the installation:

rpmlib(X-CheckUnifiedSystemdir) is needed by filesystem-2.1.9-21.mga4.i586

perl-base >= 2:5.18.1 is needed by perl-MDV-Distribconf-4.02-9.mga4.noarch

librpm.so.3 is needed by deltarpm-3.6-3.mga4.i586

librpmio.so.3 is needed by deltarpm-3.6-3.mga4.i586

libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.15) is needed by aria2-1.18.1-2.mga4.i586

libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.17) is needed by aria2-1.18.1-2.mga4.i586

A direct upgrade from Mageia 2 to 4 is not supported.
The best way would be a fresh installation of Mageia 4 and then copy your /home back (you need to backup it first ;) )

Hello,

You can't upgrade from 2 to 4, skipping 3. More over, upgrade from 2 to 3 need a special action. See
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_3_Err ... ade_Issues
If you see a message which contain "rpmlib(X-CheckUnifiedSystemdir)", it means you didn't carefully follow the instructions, as the /usr move is not complete.

Apart from that, would be helpful if you would use a more meaningful subject next time, as this is not at all about Mageia installation.
