Created attachment 13449 [details]
post install script "re-urpmi-mageia9" logfile

Attachment of post install script logfile showing errors configuring URPMI sources for Mageia 9 at around midnight on Monday 24th October 2022.
(During testing of the Mageia 9 alpha1 release.)

Hence the unavailability of expected RPMs for install.

Thanks Jani Välimaa.

I have checked again today and been able to correctly configure Mageia 9 URPMI sources.

I can now see tcptraceroute is available.

Summary     : Traceroute implementation using TCP packets
Description :
The more traditional traceroute(8) sends out either UDP or ICMP ECHO
packets with a TTL of one, and increments the TTL until the destination
has been reached. By printing the gateways that generate ICMP time
exceeded messages along the way, it is able to determine the path packets
are taking to reach the destination.

The problem is that with the widespread use of firewalls on the modern
Internet, many of the packets that traceroute(8) sends out end up being
filtered, making it impossible to completely trace the path to the
destination. However, in many cases, these firewalls will permit inbound
TCP packets to specific ports that hosts sitting behind the firewall are
listening for connections on. By sending out TCP SYN packets instead of
UDP or ICMP ECHO packets, tcptraceroute is able to bypass the most common
firewall filters.

Installed and confirmed tcptraceroute working OK.

We can close this bug report.

Your sources were configured wrong with two colons in the url.

rsync://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr::mageia/distrib/9/x86_64//media/nonfree/updates/

Closing INVALID.

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

Not the two colons but the two slashes were wrong...

Hello sturmvogel,

The two colons version works for me.
I just reconfigured the Mageia 9 URPMI sources by copy&paste from my script's logfile to shell.
Everything is configured correctly here.

There is nothing wrong with "::".

Example:

[mpb@h30-mageia9-alpha1 ~]$ rsync --list-only distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr::mageia/distrib/9/x86_64/

See comment 5

Hello sturmvogel,

See comment 6.

If you believe "::" are wrong try it yourself and share the result here.

I just loaded https://bugs.mageia.org///show_bug.cgi?id=31026
As expected, it works. though https:///bugs.mageia.org///show_bug.cgi?id=31026
does not. The https: must be followed by two slashes and only two, but
in the middle of any url multiple slashes get treated as one.

I didn't know that's true for colons too.

CC: (none) => davidwhodgins

no, the two colons are correct, they tell rsync that is should look for a rsync module (or virtual path if you like) named "mageia" and use the paths below it...

if you want to see if a site has modules defined, you can check, for example:

rsync --list-only distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr::

pub            	The whole archive
mageia         	The whole Mageia tree (http://www.mageia.org/)
pld            	The PLD distribution
archlinux      	The whole archlinux tree (http://www.archlinuxfr.org/)
devil-linux    	The whole devil-linux tree (http://www.devil-linux.org/)
gentoo-portage 	Gentoo portage tree
gentoo-distfiles	Gentoo distfiles tree
gentoo         	Gentoo distfiles tree
centos         	CentOS
rocky          	Rocky
centos-beta    	The official CentOSBeta Mirror
ulteo          	Ulteo (http://www.ulteo.com/)
CPAN           	Comprehensive Perl Archive Network
cygwin         	Cygwin
postgresql     	Postgresql
putty-website-mirror	Putty Http and Ftp mirror
ctan           	CTAN mirror
scientific-linux	Scientific Linux
freebsd        	FreeBSD
debian         	Debian archive
debian-cd      	Debian archive
mandriva-prehistory	Very old and obsolete Mandriva and Mandrake distribution
ubuntu         	Ubuntu archive

if you use only a single colon, you need full path from top of tree of what rsync  exposes

oh, and the reason Pauls script failed first, and now works is that it searches for "distrib/9"

and I only added that symlink  9->cauldron yesterday...
