Description of problem: after migration mageia5 to mageia6, it remains several packages from mageia5 why? what to do? can I delete them without troubles? notice they are not considered as orphans: [root@magaux alain4]# urpme --auto-orphans Aucun orphelin à supprimer see the attached file: the return of the command: rpm -qa | grep mga5 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Created attachment 9580 [details] return of rpm -qa | grep mga5
[root@magaux alain4]# urpme --auto-orphans Aucun orphelin à supprimer (trad english: no orphan to delete)
A lot of them are KDE packages (incuding KDM) that no longer exist in Mga6, afaik they should have been obsoleted. Some others, like lib64orcus0.8_0-0.7.0-4.mga5 were replaced by other ones with a higher major, in this case lib64orcus0.12_0-0.12.1-2.mga6.... the latter was probably installed on your system because LibreOffice needs it. Assigning to KDE team for the KDE packages and CC'ing all packagers collectively for the other ones. If you didn't install any third-party software (so if you didn't install software from a non-mageia repository or website), then it is safe to remove all packages in the versions that you find when you run: urpmq --not-available

urpme --auto-orphans isn't perfect and sometimes misses things. The real key is, does uninstalling the remaining mga5 packages try to remove anything else it shouldn't? Please let us know. If the answer is no, you can close this as INVALID. If it's yes, there may be an upgrade issue in a package.
after deleting all package*.mga5, skypeforlinux, which is already installed, no longer works: no more sound; it's possible to hear, but your correspondent doesn't hear you; this is corroborated by skype call test
it was just a microphon level control, I have fixed it with pavucontrol
about skypeforlinux, the same symptoms apperas with mageia5; neither the mike output level nor the packages mga5 in mageia6 couldn't be responsible I shall post this bug to skype bugs services, if there is one
This message is a reminder that Mageia 6 is end of life. Mageia stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 6. At that time this bug will be closed as OLD (EOL). Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 6's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we cannot be able to fix it before Mageia 6 was end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. -- Mageia Bugsquad
