can you reproduce if you update you mageia ?

Keywords: (none) => NEEDINFO

Thanks for attention,

Yes,today the bug occurs yet. 

The clock is wrong. I synchronised with ntp.

The bug stays, but I have to say that it's an old computer. I just keep it to test a software installation : Noethys https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14236

Indeed I'm not sure that mageia is updated, because I don't know how to update without this applet. I'll try with konsole.

Here the outing with konsole

@Scara: You told me there was also a similar issue when running "urpmi --auto-select" IIRC. Could you post the output of this too?
As far as I understand, it would point towards an issue in urpmi (or a specific mirror?) instead of mgaapplet.

Here is (I cut the main part of the message which is always like the beginning but whith other package names)

How Can I know the mirror I'm using? (because I couldn't choose it when I added sourcs)

@Scara: you can use "urpmq --list-url" to see the URLs of your mirror(s).

CC'ing tmb since the error speaks about the kernel, though I'm not sure it's related to it specifically.

I was on distrib-coffee and I changed the mirror to http://fr2.rpmfind.net/

the problem is always the same

For the "problème de lecture du fichier de synthèse synthèse du média « Core Updates (distrib3)" or can't read the file...

I 'think' you could try removing corresponding file in /var/lib/urpmi (cache + maybe other)

For some other people, updating with urpmi --auto-update was enough to remove the "Can't call method "flag_skip" on an undefined value" issue

Thierry, another view ?

I removed all files and folders in /var/lib/urpmi and configured the packages sources again... and I have the same problem for updating the distro :(

@Scara: Thanks to a hint from spurtle on IRC, I think you are affected by bug 13370.

It would be the case if your perl-URPM package is older than perl-URPM-4.30-1.mga4, can you check? Did you install Mageia 4 instead of Mageia 4.1?

I installed with the live DVD that I downloaded when mageia 4 was out and the version of perl-URPM was 4.29-1

I downloaded perl-URPM-4.30-1.mga4.i586.rpm package and the problem is solved 

thanks :))

Assigning to Thomas: Please see the pastebin on comment 13 and my comment 17. From what I could gather users installing Mageia 4 (and not 4.1) can not update because kernel 3.14.x triggers bug 13370.

Maybe we should remove some provides for the Mageia 4 kernel?

Assignee: bugsquad => tmb

One solution could be to drop the versions from the kmod provides (like we do in mga5)

Yeah, I think we can try to remove the version from the kmod provides...

for now its an issue that can be solved on infra_* level, but if it works we need to issue an update for atleast mga4

The only kmod versions we cant drop are the dkms specific ones especially for gpus

(In reply to Thomas Backlund from comment #21)
> Yeah, I think we can try to remove the version from the kmod provides...
> 
> for now its an issue that can be solved on infra_* level,

Actually scratch that... after getting some coffee and waking the brain...
the kmod provides is generated in chroots at kernel build time, so we cant
really fix it with anyting other than an errata note about manually downloading the perl-URPM referenced in http://advisories.mageia.org/MGAA-2014-0117.html


the 3.14 kernel rpms with "too big provides list" are already on public mirrors so we cant really "fix" them anymore

Can't we provide a "bugfix" update for the kernel? Or will the already validated kernels still be an issue even if they're not the ones urpmi will try to install (when there are newer kernels in core/updates I mean)?

Technically one could maybe hack the genhdlist2 on infra_* to drop the versions from the kmod provides at hdlist generation time, but I think it would be too error prone...

(In reply to Rémi Verschelde from comment #24)

Thats exactly the issue...  the already validated 3.14 kernel has the "too big provides list" already...

Hmm... that gives one other idea... not really nice one, but maybe acceptable in this case...

the only 3.14 kernel in updates is the core kernel-3.14.18-3.mga4, the other ones are only in updates_testing.

So we could "break" the chain with pushing an updated rpm-mageia-setup-build with dropped kmod version provides, rebuild all kernels in updates_testing with it, and when we release the new kernel-3.14.22+ we drop the 3.14.18 from updates tree

or I'd have to rebuild the 3.14.18-3 and let it replace the one already validated one

*** Bug 14414 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

CC: (none) => junknospam

I decided to do it a little combo to satisfy all possibilities...

1.push rpm-mageia-setup-1.197-1.1.mga4 that dont add versions to kernel kmod provides
2. rebuild already validated kernel-3.14.18-3 with the fixed rpm-mageia-setup-build and move it to updates replacing the current one (as toolchain has not changed, the only change is the "lighter" kmod provides list (it's even lighter than the kernel-3.12 series), so the replacement is safe)
3. regenerate hdlists to pick up the lighter provides.

So this bug should now be resolved, and all kernels currently in updates_testing are updated to 3.14.23 and rebuilt with the fixed rpm-mageia-setup-build.

I get today the same bug.
The "core updates" list can't be read.
I just done a fresh install from DVD-i586 4.1, configuring the mirror. I get the error asking the update, for example with "urpmi --auto-select".
I tried with $MIRRORLIST and then with two other specific mirrors.

Still, this shows that there is still an issue with the current Core Updates synthesis file. The perl-URPM update was meant to fix upgrades from Mageia 4 to Mageia 5, but we keep getting reports of users facing the issue when updating a brand new Mageia 4.1.

@tmb: Is there still an issue with the kernel provides?

Thomas forced the regeneration of the hdlists, which fixes the issue.

People might still be faced with this issue if they can't update their local copy of the hdlists. A mention has been added for this in the Errata: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_4_Errata#Package_installation_or_update_fails_with_.22problem_reading_synthesis_file.22
