LibreOffice packages not showing up in the software manager

Postby bdnf » Feb 14th, '14, 05:34

I recently switched from Mageia 2 to 4 doing a clean install from the LiveCD and then copying my /home directory. I was in the process of reinstalling useful software when I realized LibreOffice wasn't there. I've tried adding new mirrors and changing search parameters but no matter what, only two show up in Rpmdrake (a presentation shrinker and a Finnish spellchecker). I checked the repositories manually in my browser and the packages are present. They are also visible in Konsole when using urpmf. I know I could install it that way or even from http://mageia.madb.org/. I'm just wondering why and if it will have any effect on future updates or if there are other packages I'm missing out even if, as far as I can tell, every other software needed was there.

The mirror you're using likely has a problem.
Try a different one.

Edit: If you're using Mirrorlist which is the default it'll keep coming back to the same mirror.
Instead use Setup a specific mirror.

Sorry if I was unclear, I did that already. And unless I misunderstand the process, if that was the case, they wouldn't appear with urpmf.

I can confirm this behaviour. I've opened a bug report:

Thanks! Glad, well, kind of, to know that, for once, I'm not responsible.
