Created attachment 4750 [details] reportbug.xz of the I tried to upgrade a Mageia 3 partition with the 64bits 4beta2 DVD At first, I used only the DVD as medium, but that didn't work, install failed with a lot of messages like devel(libuuid(64bit)) is needed by (installed) lib64sm-devel-1.2.1-4.mga3.x86_64 qt4-devel is needed by (installed) lib64qt-mobility-devel-1.2.0-10.mga3.x86_64 qt4-devel is needed by (installed) lib64qtwebkit2.2-devel-2.3.2-1.1.mga3.x86_64 qt4-devel >= 4:4.8.0 is needed by (installed) kdelibs4-devel-2:4.10.5-1.1.mga3.x86_64 pkgconfig(QtCore) is needed by (installed) lib64qtwebkit2.2-devel-2.3.2-1.1.mga3.x86_64 pkgconfig(QtGui) is needed by (installed) lib64qtwebkit2.2-devel-2.3.2-1.1.mga3.x86_64 pkgconfig(QtNetwork) is needed by (installed) lib64qtwebkit2.2-devel-2.3.2-1.1.mga3.x86_64 I was returned to the "add supplemental media" screen and chose one or two ftp servers, install failed again and I tried again, again fail, again tried, then succeeded (the changelog ml didn't show that much activity over the last day, so I'm surprised that I got the "Installation failed" message so often) There is good news, too: after reboot I did *not* see bug 11827
Whiteboard: (none) => 4beta2
Either a packaging bug or there's not enough packages on the DVD. Does it work better if you add the network media?

I'm sure I had packages installed in Mageia 3 that were not on the DVD, but I've been told that install shouldn't fail on that. > Does it work better if you add the network media? I did *not* first downgrade the already installed packages to Mga3. It did fail again three times (one more than I thought before) and then succeeded on the 4rth try. Attaching the messages about the failed transactions /after/ network media were added.
Created attachment 4777 [details] Fails with only DVD now attaching the failed transactions at first try, when only the DVD was used
(In reply to Thierry Vignaud from comment #1) > Does it work better if you add the network media? Oops, maybe I misunderstood and you meant: at first try, before having upgraded anything? If so, then I hope to find time to create a similar Mageia 3, and upgrade from that with network media added. Please re-add NEEDINFO if this is indeed what you meant

Tested here with RC iso and all went smoothly without any bug on vbox
with 10th round 32 bits DVD there is no problem, I upgraded a Mga 3 to which I had deliberately added many packages that aren't on the DVD. DVD-only upgrade went fine. I had forgotten this bug was about 64 bits, so I did the wrong test, I'll test with a 64 bits upgrade, too
and on real hw, again, like when I hit this issue
64bits upgrade of a default mga 3 KDE + task-edu + bm + dependencies Everything went fine. So either this got somehow fixed, or it is only valid when certain devel packages are installed in Mageia 3 I'll close it as old, even if it would still be valid, people who use devel packages won't run away from Mageia if they hit this
