I see 10 times:

* no packages match python3-smbc (it is either in skip.list or already rejected)

However, there are 304 other "no packages match" errors, maybe even around 50 different ones

(my brain won't currently tell me what to add to 
 xzcat Downloads/19936report.bug.xz | grep -v python | grep rejected | sort
to remove duplicate lines)

Anyway, this error occurs 4 times:

* step "installPackages" failed with error: Installation failed at /usr/lib/libDrakX/install/steps.pm line 450.

And that step doesn't run a 5th time.

Comment 3 Thierry Vignaud 2016-12-13 13:32:43 CET

That's not an installer bug.
It's right in that some deps are missing from the ISOs:
Check with "grep python3-smbc Mageia-6-sta2-*idx"

Either use "sort -u" or "sort|uniq"

I pressed ok and continued to try the install 4 times,then gave up.
So that is probably why it is listed 4x not more
