Description Ben McMonagle 2016-06-28 10:30:11 CEST

Description of problem: when attempting to install thunderbird 45.1.1-1.mga6.noarch via MCC, a requires dependency is reported: thunderbird-ar-45.1.1-1.mga6.noarch.

(choosing my preferred language interface first allows only the two required thunderbird packages to be installed.) 

When attempting the install from terminal, urpmi thunderbird, reports: 
In order to satisfy the 'thunderbird-l10n' dependency, one of the following packages is needed: 
(options 1-50 presented, what is your choice?)

there is an inconsistancy between MCC and urpmi that should be aligned.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ageia-6-sta1-LiveDVD-GNOME-x86_64-DVD.iso
DATE.txt: Mon Jun 27 15:00:00 CEST 2016


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot to live desktop of above .iso
2.enable online media including core, non-free and tainted
3.launch rpmdrake, change "packages with GUI" to "all", Search for "thunderbird

This isn't a thunderbird issue,  but a drakrpm problem: you get the same for the localised sounds package when installing gcompris.

The same problem exist for dnf, see bug 18315

Comment 2 Ben McMonagle 2016-07-18 11:24:30 CEST

getting better.

(I selected:language:New Zealand English, Locale:New Zealand at installation)

rpmdrake: 
choosing to install thunderbird only advises dependency "british english"

urpmi:

[root@localhost ~]# urpmi thunderbird
In order to satisfy the 'thunderbird-l10n' dependency, one of the following packages is needed:
 1- thunderbird-en_GB-45.2.0-1.mga6.noarch: British English interface for Thunderbird (to install)
 2- thunderbird-en_US-45.2.0-1.mga6.noarch: English (United States) interface for Thunderbird (to install)
What is your choice? (1-2)

Comment 3 Ben McMonagle 2016-07-18 11:34:29 CEST

but good enough

Comment 4 Marja Van Waes 2016-07-18 12:02:25 CEST

Reopening, this bug isn't about urpmi, it has never been a problem there.

Besides, as just also shown in comment #3, rpmdrake still selects the alphabetically first ;-)

Resolution: FIXED => (none)

Comment 5 Marja Van Waes 2016-07-18 17:39:57 CEST

However, Ben, I should have asked you for the output of 

   rpm -qa | grep locales | sort


instead of just assuming that this time, you only have locales-en (and locales itself, of course) installed now.

Here, I still get 

 To satisfy dependencies, the following package(s) also need to be installed:

- gcompris-boards-15.10-2.mga6.noarch
- gcompris-sounds-ar-15.10-2.mga6.noarch

156MB of additional disk space will be used.

So no choice, despite 10 different locales-*-2.22-5.mga6 being installed.

no problem, (I can do this this)

locales-en-2.22-5.mga6

Comment 7 Neal Gompa 2016-12-18 05:58:10 CET

This can be resolved as we move from rpmdrake to dnfdragora[1] and implement the solution described in bug 19974. However, I don't think we can fix it in this manner for Mageia 6, though we definitely can for Mageia 7.
