The "mgaapplet" program crashed. Drakbug-16.104 caught it.

Mageia 5 - Xfce was just starting

What is do the following commands return:

   ll -d /var/cache/


   ll -d /var/cache/urpmi/

Looks like savage cleaning from the sysadmin part...

Comment 3 Gilles Pascual 2016-11-04 19:33:01 CET 
I have understood what happened. 
I used first drakdisk to make a partition for /var.
Drakdisk copied files to the new partition but stopped with an error before ending copy.
Then I reboot and bing bang this error occured. 
It's ok now : since this problem (but not for this reason !) I have reinstalled Mageia.

I think I can close this issue.
Please could you tell me what to do when this happens ? a chown on /var/cache ? 

Thanks.
