mga1? We don't support it anymore. Did you mean mga2 and mga3 instead?

what about http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft?view=revision&revision=5737 in urpmi for http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft?view=revision&revision=5741 in mgaonline ?

It's for mga2 obviously

Source RPM: urpmi perl-URPM => urpmi-6.48.4-1.mga2 perl-URPM-3.40.3-1.mga2

With urpmi..

# urpmi webmin
To satisfy dependencies, the following packages are going to be installed:
  Package                        Version      Release       Arch
(medium "Core Release")
  perl-IO-Tty                    1.100.0      4.mga2        i586
(medium "Core Updates Testing")
  perl-Authen-Libwrap            0.220.0      1.mga2        i586
  webmin                         1.620        1.1.mga2      noarch
101KB of additional disk space will be used.
14MB of packages will be retrieved.
Proceed with the installation of the 3 packages? (Y/n) n

with MageiaUpdate..

To satisfy dependencies, the following package(s) also need to be installed:

- perl-Authen-Libwrap-0.220.0-1.mga2.i586
- perl-IO-Tty-1.100.0-4.mga2.i586

101KB of additional disk space will be used.

So this certainly seems to fix bug 2317 with an update in core updates requiring something from release. It should also be tested to ensure updates for tainted with new recursive requires in tainted release or core release & similar for nonfree. 

2317 also affected updates made in the installer but there is no simple way to test that.

Downgrade version has to be explicitly given (or it fails) but it does work, thanks for that Thierry. Also urpmq --sources man checked. Man for --downgrade seems identical to --replacepkgs at the moment.

Wrong..

# urpmi --downgrade kscd
The following package has to be removed for others to be upgraded:

Whiteboard: (none) => has_procedure mga2-32-ok?

Tested that a tainted package requiring something from core release is ok.

# rpm -e --nodeps libSDL1.2_0

before updating ffmpeg to tainted version. MageiaUpdate brings in the missing dependency without issue.

To satisfy dependencies, the following package(s) also need to be installed:

- libavcodec53-0.10.7-1.mga2.tainted.i586
- libavfilter2-0.10.7-1.mga2.tainted.i586
- libavformat53-0.10.7-1.mga2.tainted.i586
- libavutil51-0.10.7-1.mga2.tainted.i586
- libpostproc52-0.10.7-1.mga2.tainted.i586
- libSDL1.2_0-1.2.14-10.mga2.i586          <<<<< Tadaah!
- libswresample0-0.10.7-1.mga2.tainted.i586
- libswscaler2-0.10.7-1.mga2.tainted.i586

It would be good to also check if a missing require from tainted release will also be selected without issue, need to find a package to do that with.

I don't think we have a suitable package to test added dependencies in tainted release.

Thierry, any ideas please?

There's no need to do a specific test, the behaviour will be the same as for core

Thanks for the info, I'll alter the advisory a little to reflect that. 

I've been using this quite extensively for a few days now on two computers 32 & 64 bit and other updates affected by bug 2317 (which this update does cure \o/) are being held for this so I think we should validate.

Advisory:
==========
This update of urpmi fixes installing updates when they have
new recursive dependencies in 'Release' medias (mga#2317). 

It fixes gurpmi layout when there are long strings (mga#5118) 
and also adds basic support for urpmi --downgrade (mga#6655).

Last but not least, urpmq got a minor documentation fix (mga#7166).

The perl-URPM update adds infrastructure for downgrading packages.

Could sysadmin please push from core/updates_testing to core/updates

Thanks!
