Description Gilberto F da Silva 2018-01-09 14:21:27 CET

Description of problem: md5 error while upgrade to Cauldron from Mageia 6


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):Cauldron


How reproducible: Following these steps:urpmi.removemedia -a

to remove all your current urpmi repositories.


After that, you need to add the cauldron repositories. If you have a 32-bit machine

urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist 'http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.cauldron.i586.list'

If you have an x86-64 machine:

urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist 'http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.cauldron.x86_64.list'

And then:

urpmi --auto-update --auto 


Steps to Reproduce:

Do you have the logs ?

Yes, please attach log.txt that is the result of running, as root:

   journalctl -a --since="YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm" --until="YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm"

and adjust the --since time to right before you started to upgrade and the --until time to where you got the error.

If you can't login to the system, then use a Live DVD in live mode, or another install on the same computer, to mount the root partition of the install that fails to boot.

There's a directory with a very long hexadecimal name in
 /that/partition's/var/log/journal/

Now run, as root, 

  journalctl -D /path/into/that/hexadecimal/directory/ > log.txt

please try to add --since="YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm" --until="YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm" before the path, but I'm not 100% sure those switches can be used with the -D option.

and then attach log.txt to this bug report.
(compress it with xz if it's too large to attach)

After use xz, log file still too big do attach.

(In reply to Gilberto F da Silva from comment #3)
> After use xz, log file still too big do attach.

So adding --since and --until date&times didn't work?

instead of xz log.txt, please try with 

   xz -9 --text log.txt


that should give better compression

Without logs, there is, unfortunately, nothing we can do :-(

Anyway, cauldron now is very different from cauldron in January, whatever caused this error did most likely already get fixed.

Closing.
