MGA5 Update Failure

[endat]

Notification says "WARNING: New updates are available for your system".. I click "install", I enter my password and then apply the updates.. I get a failure message:

2 installation transactions failed

There was a problem during the installation:

Why is it trying to install a mixture of i586 and x64 packages? I think the update's got its wires crossed..

Please show the output of

Code: Select all

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

Why is it trying to install a mixture of i586 and x64 packages?

You likely have an x86 [64-bit] system, and some applications that you have may require the i586 packages, hence they are updated as required.
Your mirror likely attempted to do it own update, went down for service, or was over subscribed, meaning you were unable to complete your own update of a particular package.
End result is what you have posted.

After checking Doktor5000 tip, if your mirror is listed as for Mageia 5 only and everything looks ok,
You may want to have a look at this: as root

Code: Select all

urpmi --auto-update

It will check your mirror and media.
Then give a list of packages for update.
Only accept the update if your mirror / media check is ok

No, the question is why he's offered updates for both i586 and x86_64 png-devel packages, as that would indicate that either he managed to force-install both those packages,
or urpmi got confused in some weird way. Such packages cannot be installed both at the same time, as they have file conflicts.

Nothing to do with the mirror, and urpmi --auto-update would error out in the same way. --debug would be helpful to know why this transaction ended up like this.
