If this helps - great - if not - that's okay too.

Hi, thanks reporting this but so sorry,

This is not supported way to do system upgrade.

Supported way is upgrade from Mageia 6 to 7 (and after from 7 to 8 Beta 1).


Closing this INVALID.

Resolution: (none) => INVALID
Status: NEW => RESOLVED

Thanks for the very quick reply. closed is fine.
I wasn't expecting too much on the bug as it seemed far-fetched.

Keep-up the great distro - Thanks :-)
