Description Stig-Ørjan Smelror 2017-05-24 22:24:19 CEST

I am just now trying an update with urpmi --auto-select --auto-update and it times out with the following error message:

detecting looping forever while trying to resolve dependancies.
Aborting... Try again with '-vv --debug' options at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.22.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/URPM/Resolve.pm line 1287.

The typo is dependancies. It should be "dependencies"

You're right, that should be changed, it's an archaic form of "dependencies"
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dependancy

It is easy to break all translations when changing this string, which should really be avoided this close to Mageia 6 release. 
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Fixing_strings_in_code_without_breaking_translations

The string is currently in line number #1287 in this file:

This is not a translated string.
