Description Götz Waschk 2013-09-04 11:18:27 CEST

This is after the upgrade from Mageia 2 to Mageia 3, mgaapplet notifies me of a new distribution version.

If I remember correctly, this happens if the upgrade failed part way through.

I think running (as root)
touch /var/lib/mageia-prepare-upgrade/state
and then using mgaapplet to complete the upgrade will fix it.

Comment 2 Dave Hodgins 2013-09-06 02:54:25 CEST

Might need to run "mkdir -p /var/lib/mageia-prepare-upgrade"
before the touch command.

Comment 3 Götz Waschk 2013-09-06 07:50:23 CEST

It then asked to prepare the upgrade and then bailed out.

Shouldn't it check /etc/mageia-release for the installed distribution version?

Assigning to Colin. Colin do you remember how to complete a Mageia 2 to 3
upgrade that failed part way through? Afraid I've forgotten.

I have the same problem now in Mageia 4
I have allready updated in Mageia 4 but the mgaapplet propose me to upgrade to Mageia 4.
I remember that when i upgraded from with the mgaapplet, at the end the system was freezed. But after hard reboot i had Mageia 4 successfully installed.

I didn't try yet Dave's solution in case that you want to verify something in this state.

Mageia 3 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status 4 months ago.
http://blog.mageia.org/en/2014/11/26/lets-say-goodbye-to-mageia-3/ 

Mageia 3 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Mageia
please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia
and reopen this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
