While migrating from Mandriva 2010.2 to Mageia 1 the following errors occured:

1. I was warned for some packages removal:

perl-base >= 2:5.12.3 is needed by perl-CPANPLUS-Dist-Build-0.540.0-1.mga1.noarch


How reproducible:

Try migrating from Mandriva 2010.2 to Mageia 1.
(My installation used Xfce as default desktop if it matters.)

What method of upgrading did you use. mgaonline? the applet? Maybe bug 2317 affects this?

Comment 2 Deyan Damyanov 2011-09-05 11:17:57 CEST

I have installed the mgaonline package, changed the repositories to Mageias' and than tried using the update wizard AND the urpmi method and they both returned exactly the same error.

Comment 3 AL13N 2011-09-05 22:39:17 CEST

did you use --update in the urpmi method?

Comment 4 Deyan Damyanov 2011-09-06 16:10:58 CEST

I have used "urpmi --replacefiles --auto-update --auto" as suggested on the official tutorial.

Comment 5 claire robinson 2011-09-13 16:26:34 CEST

This sounds like my experience too in bug 1600 - I used the DVD to upgrade.

Re: Unsuccessful Mandriva 2010.2 to Mageia 1 migration

Postby stormi Â» Sep 14th, '11, 23:37
I think I found the cause : some packages, including python-numpy, have been updated in Mandriva 2010.2, and now Mageia 1 has a lower version than Mandriva 2010.2. This can cause an upgrade failure !

We'll try to have that fixed as soon as possible.

python-numpy is in update since the 18/09 (see bug 2752)

> python-numpy is in update since the 18/09 (see bug 2752)

So, problem resolved until next time Mandriva updates python-numpy faster than we do.
