Comment 1 Manuel Hiebel 2014-02-02 12:03:26 CET 
looks like urpmi is broken

urpmi --auto-update does work ?

Comment 2 Thierry Vignaud 2014-02-02 13:54:02 CET 
this is already answered in initial report.
What does report the following command:
rpm -q urpmi perl-URPM perl lib64ncursesw5

This is an old mga3 install logs.
Don't you've more recent files in /root/drakx?
The files of interest would be latest ddebug.log & install.log files

maybe an information that might be usefulas it concern ncurse :

i've made a compilation  of upstream ncurse to try to install modules for bitcoins
but i didn't uninstall mageia ncurse.

if it may help...
Comment 12 Thierry Vignaud 2014-02-02 19:20:00 CET 
That explains your logs.
ddebug.log shows that there were already issues with lib64ncurses in the system to upgrade thus failling to select some packages.
Thus none of rpm/perl-URPM/urpmi or lib64ncursesw5 or even basesystem was updated.

You screwed you system.
You should never never overwrite a system library or you can destroy the system.

You should either reinstall from scrath or boot the install DVD with the "rescue" option, then manually install lib64ncurses from the DVD.

You can also download http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/4/x86_64/media/core/release/lib64ncurses5-5.9-17.mga4.x86_64.rpm

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => INVALID

Comment 13 Thierry Vignaud 2014-02-02 19:21:29 CET 
In mga5, we could rely on URPM in order to examine the chrooted system for installed packages.
Comment 14 x x 2014-02-02 19:36:04 CET 
;-)

yes i know there might always be a risk to do that, but maybe mageia team shouldn't ignore compilation's option on important parts of system ;-)

go for a reinstall from scrath...

Resolution: INVALID => FIXED

Comment 15 Sander Lepik 2014-02-02 19:54:37 CET 
Nothing was fixed here..

Comment 16 x x 2014-02-02 20:18:37 CET
