Description of problem: This package seems to be designed to download and prepare the intel and amd microcode. However, the key file, /etc/rc.d/init.d/microcode-ctl which is called by the /usr/sbin/update-intel-microcode does not exist anymore. The monthy cron job thus fails, as does the applet that seems to run every time kde is started. This package either needs to be removed, or /etc/init.d/microcode-ctl needs to be reinstated. (Is there a systemd equivalent?)
*** Bug 18038 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Summary: This whole package seems to be useless. => microcode_ctl seems to be useless.
I do apologize for giving you more work. Something seemed to have gone wrong in the bug reporting, and I thought my first attempt had failed (that was what I thought the error message said).
Assigning to all packagers collectively, since there is no maintainer for this package.

Hi w unruh, Thank you for having taken the needed time to report this issue! Did this bug get fixed? If so, please change its status to RESOLVED - FIXED If it didn't, then we regret that we weren't able to fix it in Mageia 5. Mageia 5 has officially reached its End of Life on December 31st, 2017 https://blog.mageia.org/en/2017/11/07/mageia-5-eol-postponed/ It only continued to get important security updates since then, because we are waiting for a big Plasma5 update in Mageia 6, that'll fix many of the Mageia 5 => 6 upgrade issues. If you haven't seen that this bug got fixed, then please check whether this bug still exists in Mageia 6. If it does, then please change the Version (near the top, at the left) to "6". If you know it exists in Cauldron, then change Version to Cauldron. If you see it in both Cauldron and Mageia 6, then please set Version to Cauldron and add MGA6TOO on the Whiteboard. Thanks, Marja
No reply, so closing as OLD since Mageia 5 is no longer maintained.
