Description Dimitri Jakov 2011-12-01 17:50:38 CET

Description of problem:

In Mageia 2 Alpha 1 (minimal install), after adding official repositories and trying to install something, one might encounter "...retrieving failed: rsync is missing". This will happen if a rsync-based mirror is chosen by URPMI. Probably rsync should be installed automatically without any regard to the installation scenario.

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

Mageia 2 Alpha 1

How reproducible:

If you are lucky to have rsync-based mirror chosen by URPMI

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Mageia 2 Alpha 1 from ISO; choose "Custom" installation, uncheck all boxes
2. urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist
3. try to install something

As you have make a minimal installation, not sure we can add one more dependance..

Thierry, what d you think ?

Since that could happen, we could either add a suggest rsync tag to urpmi or alter the mirror choice by ignoring rsync if not installedfgrep setfacl /lib/udev/rules.d /etc/udev/
