Description Renato Dali 2015-03-16 00:48:00 CET 
Hi, guys,

I'm trying to do a step-by-step update, because if done at once text disappears ( bug 15465 ).

After installing RC3, I installed the first batch of updates (about glibc and urpmi etc.), rebooted the computer and got the list of 610 packages to update.

I then logged as root and this is my initial attempt (which already has gone wrong). Interestingly, when done automatically with drakrpm, everything goes smooth (minus the disappearing text, that is).

An excerpt of my session:

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
[root@localhost ~]# urpmi kernel-desktop-latest
Para satisfazer as dependências, os seguintes programas serão instalados:

I did update my medias in Mageia Control Center; it seems ftp.las.ic.unicamp.br is missing a package.

If I'm doing wrong, please advise me.

I think you need to update the metadata (for example, urpmi.update -a) as there is now a new version of this package (kernel-firmware-nonfree-20150309-2.mga5.nonfree.noarch.rpm) and the old one is no longer on the mirror.

Comment 2 Renato Dali 2015-03-16 03:14:02 CET 
Thanks, Pascal!

I (wrongly) supposed the GUI tool would do that; I'm really not that good with all the urpmi* options, though I can more or less handle the command line...

Alas, there must be still something I'm forgetting or don't know, because I got that:

O seguinte programa contém assinaturas erradas: [The following program has bad signatures:]
/var/cache/urpmi/rpms/kernel-firmware-nonfree-20150309-2.mga5.nonfree.noarch.rpm: Assinatura não encontrada (OK ((none))) [Signature not found]
Você deseja continuar a instalação? (s/N) n

I blindly tried urpmi.update -ff repo for the core and nonfree ones. To no avail...

Any other hint?
Comment 3 Renato Dali 2015-03-16 03:51:30 CET 
Ah, tried to do it by brute force and it kinda worked (though I'm sure if wanted to ignore security there must be a way in urpmi.update man page...). I did that:

urpmi http://ftp.las.ic.unicamp.br/pub/mageia/distrib/cauldron/i586/media/nonfree/release/kernel-firmware-nonfree-20150309-2.mga5.nonfree.noarch.rpm
Marcando kernel-firmware-nonfree como instalado manualmente, não será orfanizado

Let's test the letters now...

Using:
  urpmi --auto-update
Instead of :
  urpmi --auto-select

does exactly that.

Comment 5 Thierry Vignaud 2015-03-16 12:17:39 CET 
The missing signature was another bug which was fixed.
Comment 6 Renato Dali 2015-03-16 22:39:41 CET 
I normally use urpmi --auto-update, but it updates everything all that is upgradeable, while I needed to do things piecemeal (one by one... I'm trying to locate a package which ruins RC3 installation on my hardware).

Regarding the present bug... Mercy.

Please keep up the good work.
Comment 7 Renato Dali 2015-03-28 21:07:44 CET 
Sorry for the misspelling.

Here now, hopefully correct:

 -- Merci beaucoup!
