Description Ricardo Naranjo 2021-04-08 23:56:50 CEST

Description of problem:
On first week of mars 2021 I downloaded and installed Mageia 8 with lot of software included steam.

Steam worked fine, but 2 weeks ago I find that steam was not present on my application-games menu (where it is supposed to be)

Now when I run the urpmi steam command I receive the following message:

Si bien algunos paquetes podrían haber sido instalados, hubo problemas.
Los siguientes paquetes no pueden instalarse porque dependen de paquetes
más antiguos que los ya instalados:


I think that the issue was because of an update.


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


How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
Install Mageia 8
Activate Core Release and Updates
Activate Non-Free Release and Updates
Activate Tainted Release and Updates
Activate Core 32bit Release and Updates
Activate Non-Free 32bit Release and Updates
Activate Tainted 32bit Release and Updates
don't update anything

2.
Install steam package.

3.
Play for a while. (everything works fine)

4.
Update Mageia with the MCC

5.
Search steam - it will be nowhere

6.
urpmi steam

Hi, thanks reporting this.

We do not ship a complete steam client. Our RPM is a tool that will download later the correct Client from Valve servers.

I can't reproduce your bug.

Steam is well pulled by urpmi to be installed. You NEED to activate 32 Bits version of core/release, core/updates and corresponding nonfree and tainted ones of they are also activated.

steam needs:

The 32 bits repos must always activated because of updates.

Do you know that Steam had 'disappeared' entirely from your system, or just from the menu? You could try
 $ rpm -q steam
to see whether it is still installed. Or try launching it from a terminal:
 $ steam

> Now when I run the urpmi steam command I receive the following message:

Please translate briefly what this means; or run:
 # LANG=C urpmi steam
to see what it says in English.
I wonder whether the installion is failing because it was already installed. If so, do (or try anyway; it will complain if steam is not there to remove):
 # urpme steam

> Steam worked fine, but 2 weeks ago...
> I think that the issue was because of an update.
If you do:
 $ rpm --last -qa | less
you will see all packages installed or updated in date order, most recent first. If you have an idea when the problem arose, you can look at what updates were done at the time. Steam itself does not seem to have been changed for some weeks; within the 'less' list, search for steam with /steam to see when it was updated.

Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you don't reply within two weeks from now, I will have to close this bug as OLD. Thank you.

"The following packages contains steam:"

do you suggest to uninstall this steam-udevrules and try to reinstall steam?

Thanks for your response

Comment 5 Aurelien Oudelet 2021-04-19 05:04:53 CEST

Yeah, try it.

As root:

urpme steam-udevrules

urpme steam

Reboot

Now make sure to enable 32 bits repositories with drakrpm-edit-media command:
core release and core updates enabled;
Nonfree release and nonfree updates;
Tainted release and tainted updates.

If this still occurs:
As root:

urpmi.removemedia -a

Now you must add a specific mirror next you. If you are in Europe:

urpmi.addmedia --distrib http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/8/x86_64

Next make sure again that 32bits repositories are enabled with drakrpm-edit-media command.

Try again run urpmi steam

Comment 6 Ricardo Naranjo 2021-04-19 05:16:00 CEST

I did

urpme steam-udevrules
urpmi.addmedia --distrib http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/8/x86_64

then I checked 32bits repositories were enabled and
urpmi steam

Everything seems to be working, (I did't reboot, seems to be no need to)

Comment 7 Ricardo Naranjo 2021-04-19 05:16:52 CEST

yes steam works nicely

Status: NEEDINFO => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

Comment 8 Aurelien Oudelet 2021-04-19 05:45:15 CEST

Yeah thanks for feedback.

But now we are unsure if this is due to removing steam-udevrules first or changing repositories to distrib-coffee mirror......

Can you even say me what mirror where chosen by $MIRRORLIST? Sometimes we find this in rpm log... under /var/log... Can be useful to know which mirror messed up... But nevermind if you don't have the infos.

Comment 9 Ricardo Naranjo 2021-04-19 06:21:14 CEST

No, I can't find that information

When I installed Mageia 8, as usual, I went to the repository list and clicked on the third button that adds the full set of repositories automatically, maybe that info worth something.

Something I noticed after install the repositories you recommended, was the update button shows lots of packages out of date. It seems that the automatic repositories I had were oudated.

The list includes gcc-c++, gcc-cpp, gimp, mate-desktop, php, gstreamer, python 3, tkinter and X11 into the most relevants.

If you show me how to get the list of my current repositories, I can remove them again (urpmi.removemedia -a), ask for automatic repositories and I'll tell you which ones the system loads.

Comment 10 Dave Hodgins 2021-04-19 18:02:34 CEST

"urpmq --list-url" will show which mirror is being used, whether it's auto
selected based on mirrorlist or a specific mirror has been chosen.

Comment 11 Ricardo Naranjo 2021-04-21 01:03:42 CEST

I erased all repositories and then I obtained automatically them

The information says:
 http://mirror.cedia.org.ec

I think this is the repository I used to get automatically before your advise but not 100% sure

Comment 12 Ricardo Naranjo 2021-04-26 23:06:31 CEST

Hello

I just confirmed on other computer that cedia.org.ec are the outdated ones.

I ask for the list of repositories just after steam stop working and rpm reports cedia.org.

Then I did the procedure you recommend and then the list of software to be updated grows to 200 packages (including steam)

Thank you for your further trials.
If we are using an outdated mirror (http://mirror.cedia.org.ec/) then it seems to me that the bug could be re-opened with a different title. And to whom direct it? Await more expert feedback.
