Comment 2 Rémi Verschelde 2015-04-30 19:23:32 CEST

david.david dropped arista from Cauldron because it's broken and inactive upstream: http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/obsolete/arista/current/

So I guess this bug in Mageia 4 won't be fixed either.

Comment 3 David GEIGER 2015-04-30 20:10:59 CEST

Yeah this package is about a long time completely broken on mga4 this is why I dropped arista from cauldron.

And as Rémi said upstream is also dead since the 2012/03/15 :
