Description Mriganka Talukdar 2012-03-16 04:40:48 CET

The "MageiaUpdate" program crashed. Drakbug-13.93 caught it.

~~~~ Bug description ~~~

The crash occurred when I unchecked rpmdrake package from the list of software updates - since it was saying that the package already exists.

Before that I got an update notification with the message -

The following package has to be removed for others to be upgraded:
rpmdrake-5.30-2.mga2.noarch
 (in order to install rpmdrake-5.30-2.mga2.noarch)

This occurred 2 times. And then I finally updated using urpmi --auto-update

~~~~~ End Bug description ~~~~

Can't call method "set_flag_skip" on an undefined value at /usr/sbin/MageiaUpdate line 114.

Can you send me (by mail), the bug4972.tar.xz file resulting from running the following commands as root in a terminal:

urpmi --auto-select --bug bug4972
tar cfa bug4972{.tar.xz,}

just answer no to urpmi when asking to install packages

Hello Thierry,

I did as instructed. Also, the problem resurfaced again today morning (PST) and for me it always seems to start with the message for removing rpmdrake-5.30-2.mga2.noarch as described also in - https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4918.

For now, I'll resort to the temporary fix for 4918 to update my system.

Comment 3 Thierry Vignaud 2012-03-16 16:30:28 CET

OK, that's because of the previous crash, you've rpmdrake installed twice.
You should run: rpm -e rpmdrake-5.30-1.mga2

I can reproduce the dialog with some package installed twice but not the crash though.
I think some vivification must have occurred at some point.
I'll add tests so that it doesn't happen again.
