Description of problem: urpmi loop -> Repair impossible! I need to repair a broken grub. ( see Bug 22552#c21 ) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Mageia 6 64 bit install iso __Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have an installed Mageia 6 system 1b. (more precisely this is a system including updates from updates testing) 2. Boot installer 3. At partitioning stage select all mount points like the installed system 3b deselect any formatting of any partition!! 4 I selected to add and enable all available repos from a trusted mirror Except i could not find how to enable all repos (testing) the installed system use :( -> GUI now show a message it is evaluating installed packages But... it never finishes! On vt3(?) (Ctrl-Alt-F3) i see messages scrolling by very fast, seems like a loop. I halted the scroll using Fn-ScrLk, and took a photo and will attach, as well as the log, using "bug". I also grabbed log using "bug".

Repair should be done slightly different and maybe that had worked in this case if not for Bug 22794 - Installer fails to offer upgrade

Is this still valid with current version of our tools? In Cauldron? In Mageia 7?
