lewyssmith Can't reproduce on my VM with Mageia 8 i586, but in telegram I did suggest to Ricardo use a specific mirror and look that fix the issue. I guess the mirror list give to Ricardo one of the bad servers https://mirrors.mageia.org/status Do we know whether that (changing mirror used) fixed the problem? @Ricardo Please answer the simple questions in comment 1. (In reply to Lewis Smith from comment #1) > Ricardo, can you please say: > * What you were doing when the crash happened? > * Whether it was an isolated incident, or happes repeatedly when doing the > same thing? After a fresh installation of Mageia 8 Live, I checked my internet connection. Then I activated all the repositories (including tainted, also the 32-bit ones, except for any that say testing or debugging) When I requested to update the system the error appeared. I thought it was because of the repositories, so I forced another set of repositories to install and the error went away. It is a repeated incident, every time mageia 8 chooses the repository update process it is interrupted by the error. Thank you for the clarification. > I thought it was because of the repositories, so I forced another set of > repositories to install and the error went away. > It is a repeated incident, every time mageia 8 chooses the repository update > process it is interrupted by the error. So katnatek guessed right in comment 2. This changes the nature of the bug: "every time mageia 8 chooses the repository, update process it is interrupted by the error". CC'ing two people who know more about this sort of thing. Is it a bug in urpmi? CC:
(none) =>
davidwhodgins, j.alberto.vc It's a bug in urpmi such that it doesn't handle corruption in the data from the mirrors, which can be caused by things such as downloading the files while the mirror is in the middle of syncing with it's source. The mirror may also have stopped syncing due to an issue such as a full file system. Workaround is to choose a specific mirror from one that is shown as good in https://mirrors.mageia.org/status It's a known issue, but will not be fixed until a developer get's around to implementing proper mirror management in urpmi. There's a separate issue described in https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_9_Errata#Downloading_software where a partial download from the mirror has occurred. That requires running "urpmi --clean" to resolve. Thanks for this feedback. It warrants another ERRATA... Assigning to 'tools' fo the form. Keywords:
