The "drakrpm-update" program crashed. Drakbug-18.45 caught it.

Comment 1 sturmvogel 2022-06-07 05:18:15 CEST

Is this bug a duplicate of (or duplicated by):
bug 21898, bug 22387, bug 22868, bug 24262, bug 25522 ?
If so, please close those that are duplicates.

Comment 2 Lewis Smith 2022-06-08 13:37:15 CEST

This made me look at all these & similar bugs, conclusions:

1) drakrpm-updatr crash, NOT the 'looping' issue.
bug 18127 (2016) Cauldron
bug 21898 (2017) Cauldron
bug 22387 (2018) Mageia 6, closed OLD
bug 22868 (2018) Cauldron
bug 24262 (2019) Cauldron
I am tempted to reduce these to just one, marking the others as duplicates. The preponderance of Cauldron is significant.

2) mgapplett-update-checker|drakrpm-update, looping on dependencies
bug 22042 (2017) Cauldron m-u-c, many duplicates, all but 1 Cauldron
bug 25522 (2019) Cauldron d-u
bug 30153 (2022) Cauldron d-u
I am tempted to reduce these to just one, marking the others as duplicates. The preponderance of Cauldron is significant. Maybe we can close them all (see below).

@Pat
Updates while Cauldron is active are always liable to fail, but eventually succeed once Cauldron is calm again. This is a risk of using Cauldron, not an intrinsic error.

If the problem you report has disappeared, can we close this?

Comment 4 Morgan Leijström 2023-02-01 15:35:20 CET

Tempting to close this one too because of the nature of development this is expected to hit sometimes, as Lewis explain in comment 2.

- But for the same reason it is good to have this open, to collect duplicates to, and having the explanation here :)


__Adding to Comment 2:

A failed update in cauldron will not always sort itself out without manual help - i.e remove some package.

It may also be needing cache cleaning or change of downloader to work.
