Description Bo Lan 2012-11-25 03:50:32 CET

Description of problem:
When I was going to upgrade a Mageia 2 computer to Cauldron, I ran urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist 'http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.cauldron.x86_64.list'. Then is show below:

    http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.cauldron.x86_64.list: media/core/release/media_info/20121122-095853-synthesis.hdlist.cz
...retrieving failed:        0B/s|/var/cache/urpmi/partial/20121122-095853-synthesis.hdlist.cz
...retrieving failed:        0B/s|/var/cache/urpmi/partial/20121122-095853-synthesis.hdlist.cz
...retrieving failed: aria2 failed: exited with 3
problem reading synthesis file of medium "Core Release".

Therefore, I cannot upgrade.

Then I tried to use different certain mirror manually. Others are good, but only distro.ibiblio.org has the same problem above.

How reproducible:
Every time I run urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist 'http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.cauldron.x86_64.list'

or

urpmi.addmedia --distrib ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/mageia/distrib/cauldron/x86_64/

Steps to Reproduce:
1.urpmi.removemedia -a
2.urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist 'http://mirrors.mageia.org/api/mageia.cauldron.x86_64.list'
or

you should try again (now or tomorrow as it sync only once a day at 9h30 UTC iirc) and this happend sometimes on cauldron, we can't do nothing against that.

OK, it seems good now. Actually sometime I can change to European mirrors but they are relatively slower than that (I am in eastern America).

So, now I mark the bug as RESOLVED -- WORKSFORME. :-)
