SOLVED "However this package is not in the package list"

[canadaist]

I decided to look at games.

I picked one, installed it, this was displayed after.
Its not the first time I have seen it.

No idea what it means. MCC, for example checks repositories on start-up 7 seconds ago.

This message is displayed in a message box directly after install completes.

Code: Select all


       Warning

"The package "cultivation-9-18.mga9.i586" was found.
However this package is not in the package list.

How exactly did you install the package, with rpmdrake? And this dialog was displayed inside rpmdrake?

[canadaist]

MCC
after install, immediately popped up

I saw it earlier last two? months didnt notice it much, may have done an

Code: Select all

--auto-update

and

Code: Select all

 urmpi --clean

but nothing else

JUST INSTALLED SECOND GAME SAME ISSUE

I went back to Games in MCC install- random game

This can be caused by removing the 32 bit repos and not refreshing the database. If you used MCC or urpmi to disable the 32 bit repos, the tools should normaly take care about this. But as it is unclear what you did…

Check your repos if 32 bit is completely enabled (release/update).

You may want to show:

Then rebuild the package database (as root):

Code: Select all

rpm --rebuilddb

[canadaist]

Thanks for that/.

But no change in behaviour. Third random game produces the same 'warning' about the related 586 files after install.

[benmc]

is there a particular reason that you have the 32bit repos enabled?

When choosing the game to install, are you choosing the i586 or x86 version?
Both will be listed as you have both the 32 and 64bit repos enabled.

[doktor5000]

That would also be my guess - are you not sure that you already have the game installed that you are selecting? Because those would be shown twice, once per architecture - 1 x i586 and 1 x x86_64 if you have both i586 and x86_64 repos enabled.
Because in the dialog you posted it says that you selected i586 but the x86_64 version is already installed:

"(medium: None (installed))"

[sturmvogel]

If you have a x86_64 package installed, the i586 package is no longer available/shown in MCC. It is like that since the beginning of Mageia. Exceptions are only packages which have the architecture coded into the name like lib and lib64 packages.

If you try to select both package architectures for installation (none installed yet), you get a conflict message different from the one shown by canadaist...

[canadaist]

I have no games installed beyond a solitare. I looked at games I installed an x86 game. MCC installed the game. MCC produced a Warning about finding a package that was not in the package list.

Three times. Install the x86, get the warning about the 586 package existing without being in the package list.

I just installed another game, the same result.

Then, I realized I was installing games each time, I installed afce - Algorithm Flowchart Editor​, which also has a gui and a 586 version.
It did NOT produce the error.


This image of the error was only produced for game installs.
Do I keep testing? Re-Install?

Game install repository package list error.

I just deleted my repositories and re-added them. Installed another game to same error.

[morgano]

I recognise I have seen similar messages in drakrpm.
They show up just *after* installing a package.
I believe it is some kind of glitch in drakrpm.

[benmc]

what is the result of:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost ~]# urpmi bear-factory --test


for example.

change

Code: Select all

bear-factory

to some not yet installed game?

[isadora]

No warning,

urpmi atomix --test completed as expected.
Then deleted all of them.

[benmc]

that appears to indicate that there is no issue with the mirror, or package manager ( per se ).

Have to agree with morgano, that the issue is likely tied to drakrpm.

Would suggest at this point to create a bug report, given that, for you, it is so repeatable.
If you have not created a bug report before, have a look here => https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_report_a_bug_properly

copy a link to the bug and paste it here.

[morgano]

In conjunction with this glitch, sometimes drakrpm freaks out and list packages in left pane. I did raise bug long ago... now updated:
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27055

I now mention this problem there. But i suppose it would be good to create another bug specifically with the problem you see here, and there set the bug number for the bug i gave in the "See also" field.

I must admit that I in such cases either retry it using urpmi, or with i586 repos enabled just to silence drakrpm popup although i admit it is not a correct method...

[doktor5000]

If you have a x86_64 package installed, the i586 package is no longer available/shown in MCC. It is like that since the beginning of Mageia. Exceptions are only packages which have the architecture coded into the name like lib and lib64 packages.

If you try to select both package architectures for installation (none installed yet), you get a conflict message different from the one shown by canadaist...

Thanks for the hint
Problem is I really don't use drakrpm, because why would I when I can use urpmi directly ...

[canadaist]

The error is no longer seen in MCC. Bug repaired one assumes, marking as SOLVED
