I doubt whether there is enough information here to pursue it. Was this a one-off occurrence? Did the error window pop up out of nowhere, or were you doing anything package related at the time? As it crashed, did you notice whether it re-established itself in Systray? If it did, it would have later done the same automatic update check. Can you say whether any automatically notified updates have happened since, either during the same session or a later one? CC:

lewyssmith https://pkgsubmit.mageia.org/ shows the perl stack is in the process of being rebuilt which takes several hours due to the large number of packages involved. As mgaapplet is written in perl, it's likely that a prior update installed part of the perl update. Wait until the perl rebuild has finished, then install the rest of the updates. It may require a reinstall if the partial update already installed has broken urpmi. Cauldron is not expected to be stable until it reaches version freeze. CC:

davidwhodgins I did not do anything package related and magaapplet keeps crashing several times within a session. Bad news. Clearly this problem is special to you. Following Dave's comment 2, I suggest the following: 1. Kill mgaapplet $ ps ax | grep mgaapplet $ kill xxxx 2. Try updating the system with Mageia tools Either # urpmi --auto-update --auto the disadvantage of which is that it does (tries) all updates without choice; Or MCC-Manage Software-Update Your System the advantage of which is that you could de-select everything except just the Perl updates, and try just those. If none of these work, it looks like urpmi etc are broken. So... 3. Try using DNF to update the system I know nothing of this, but believe it uses the same rpm database. I cannot advise about its specific usage, but the man page is comprehensive. Start with: $ dnf check [checks the rpm database] And if nothing works: > It may require a reinstall if the partial update already installed > has broken urpmi. Cauldron is not expected to be stable until it reaches > version freeze. Since we have not received feedback to the information we have requested above, we will assume the problem was not reproducible, or has been fixed in one of the updates we have released. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade to the latest update of our distribution, and if this issue turns out to still be reproducible in the latest update, please reopen this bug with additional information. Closing as OLD. Resolution:
