Quite sure mirrors issue https://mirrors.mageia.org/status

Comment 3 Lewis Smith 2024-03-27 21:05:20 CET

Yes, there have been mirror problems lately.
Either change or wait a bit, try later, report back.

I believe that dnf & rpm work differently, and it is not recommended to mix them. If things mostly work, orphans apparently do not.

Three months later, assuming this particular issue got fixed.

I do mix usage of dnf and urpmi, btw, if you're aware that urpmi cannot detect orphans as it should and that the history of dnf can't work well, either, then it doesn't cause problems.
