[SOLVED] Update issues

[ychaouche]

Hello, See pastie http://pastie.org/3807483

It happend to me two times in a row. Info : I didn't update my distro since like 6 months ago.

Every time I try to update it, I run into this problem.

Your help is appreciated. Thank you.

Yassine.

Hello,

I wanted to say that the problem was solved. Someone on IRC suggested to run the update from the command line like this

Code: Select all

 urpmi --auto-update --debug


And it went fine. They also told me to disable the testing "media", which I did after the update.

Anyway; just to check if anything else may be wrong, here are the results of the given commands

How did you add the repositories in the first place? You should definitely use another mirror, ibiblio is known to cause problem as it's not updated that often.
Also you have enabled some repos which are disabled by default, why did you do that? Now probably you already have some testing packages on your system. Please do the following as root to disable all but the regular set of repositories:

Code: Select all

urpmi.update --ignore testing

Code: Select all

urpmi.update --ignore debug

Code: Select all

urpmi.update --ignore backports

[ychaouche]

How did you add the repositories in the first place?

Via the drakrpm-edit-media interface.

Also you have enabled some repos which are disabled by default, why did you do that?

I likely didn't understand what all those were for.

You should definitely use another mirror, ibiblio is known to cause problem as it's not updated that often.

How ? is there a list somewhere ?

Code: Select all

urpmi.update --ignore backports

I would like to keep that one. If something's ready for next release, why wait ?

[doktor5000]

Backports are not open, and probably won't be opened up during the lifetime of Mageia 1. So essentially you keep empty repositories enabled, but do as you wish.

For the mirrors, experience tells. Some mirrors are more prone to errors and more unreliable, like ibiblio and also mirror.kernel.org (because it has two aliases/servers, but one is often not reachable depending which DNS server you'Re using). For a complete listing/map take a look at http://mirrors.mageia.org/

[ychaouche]

Thanks a lot doktor5000. I presume that these mirrors should be added somewhere in /etc/ . I'll try to find that out as soon as I get to my mageia PC again.

[doktor5000]

Uhmm, what do you mean by that? Do you want to add all those mirrors or what? You don't need to find out, we can tell you.
You just need to tell what you want to do. And normally you add one set of repositories from a reliable mirror and don't need to care for it again.

[ychaouche]

THanks doktor5000

So your questions have all been answered and the problem is solved now? Then please edit the first post and prefix the subject with [SOLVED].
