Description of problem: After installing the package mentioned in the title the graphical tools in mcc shut down with an unexpected error. urpmi still works fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Installing Mageia in a VM 2. Activate Cauldron (see http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=cauldron) 3. Go into the graphical tool in MCC and choose install & remove software 4. click on apply to install auto-selected packages 5. start Install Updates or Install & Remove Software again
After rebooting the vm MCC doesn't start anymore.
Start if from terminal and post the output here.
drakrpm /usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libDrakX/auto/c/stuff/stuff.so: undefined symbol: Perl_Gthr_key_ptr
Ok after a full upgrade using urpmi the drak* tools are working again. But it's not very nice if you update some packages and after that the Gui tools for installing RPM Packages aren't working. Maybe we should fix that before Mageia 2 Release so we are able to do a full upgrade from Mageia 1 to 2 ??
A botched update/upgrade is a botched update/upgrade, and in this case it was a perl upgrade, urpmi does prioritise and update itself, rpm, perl, glibc... etc first, judging by the fact the urpmi from terminal worked. But when there's a major (perl in this case) upgrade, you can't cherry pick updates, you have to get them all or some stuff will barf like you saw; in this particular case it was a flaky mirror (seeing your thread on the -dev ML).
