Description of problem: Have a laptop with the lastly distributed Mageia 5 release (- KSD) Normally I do receive all updates on this distro version through the update applet - and also got several updates that way yesterday evening. After finishing updating - no other updates were found and closed the updating tool. However after about 5 minutes a new applet popped up on the task-bar indicating there's a new distribution release ..... This seems however to be CAULDRON - what I do not use as I'm on Mageia version 5. My other pc's did after the same regular updates as mentioned above -- not get/show this specific applet informing about a distribution release.... Find below the output of /etc/product.id and /etc/mageia-release; [code]fred@lap1 ~]$ ls -l /etc/product.id lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jun 22 21:46 /etc/product.id -> product.id.Default [fred@lap1 ~]$ [/code] [code][fred@lap1 ~]$ ls l /etc/mageia-release ls: cannot access l: No such file or directory /etc/mageia-release [fred@lap1 ~]$[/code] How reproducible: Every time I login: Just after starting the pc., the updater applet came up again - when clicking it it mentions there's a new version of Mageia distribution released and if I want to updateto Mageia version 5..... But I do have already Mageia 5 since the release in June... Sure I can ignore it, but does this not influence or stop me from receiving the normal updates to Mageia 5 now ..? Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
My question remains --- when I ignore the applet --- does it not disturb my normal updates to Mageia version 5 -- AND -- is there anyway to get this applet stop providing the alert for a new distribution version 5 which I already have .. ? When clicking the applet it exactly looks the same now as the one back in June and when clicking for more information it leads me to the url: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_5_Release_Notes

I still don't understand how this could happen. Anyway, it wasn't reported on any other computer, so seems to have been something that only happened on that one machine (maybe only one bit spontaneously changing its value)

Closing as OLD, now, because, afaik, this only occurred once on one system, hasn't re-occurred since 2015 and, of course, because we're working towards Mageia 6 release, after which Mageia 5 stations are expected to inform us of the new release. If a Mageia 6 station informs about a new Mageia distro release before Mageia 7 stable is released, then please open a new bug report and refer to this report in it.
