Created attachment 10337 [details] strace of urpmi.addmedia Description of problem: After a MGA6 update (performed on 2018-08-27), `urpmi.addmedia` (and some `drak...` applications as well) hangs. After this update, I restarted the computer as advised (because of a new kernel) and, during shutdown or restart (I don't remember), thousands messages such as : ``` xx printk messages dropped acpi error x0gs namespace ``` were emitted, endlessly so I had to hard power off. Probably due to these messages, I noticed an full `/var` partition, because of `syslog.1`, `errors.log.1` and `messages.1`, each of them about 2.7 GB. Even after empty them with e.g. `>messages.1` and a `/var` partition okay, `urpmi.addmedia` hangs. I'll attach the strace of e.g.: ``` strace -o strace-rpm.txt urpmi.addmedia --debug -v --distrib --mirrorlist '$MIRRORLIST' ``` the `debug` and `verbose` options only tell: ``` getting exclusive lock on urpmi parsing: /etc/urpmi/mediacfg.d/Official-6-x86_64 loading mirrors cache using mirror http://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/mageia.org/distrib/6/x86_64 récupération du fichier media.cfg... récupération de $MIRRORLIST media/media_info/media.cfg '/usr/bin/aria2c' '--log' '/var/cache/urpmi/partial/.aria2.log' '--auto-file-renaming=false' '--ftp-pasv' '--summary-interval=1' '--follow-metalink=mem' '--metalink-enable-unique-protocol=true' '--metalink-preferred-protocol=http' '--max-tries=5' '--lowest-speed-limit=20K' '--timeout' '3' '--split=3' '--uri-selector=adaptive' '--server-stat-if=/root/.aria2-adaptive-stats' '--server-stat-of=/root/.aria2-adaptive-stats' '--max-file-not-found=9' '--connect-timeout=6' '-Z' '-j1' '--allow-overwrite=true' '/var/cache/urpmi/.metalink' aria2c: aria2c: 08/28 12:38:16 [NOTICE] ServerStat file /root/.aria2-adaptive-stats loaded successfully. aria2c: aria2c: 08/28 12:38:16 [NOTICE] Download complete: /var/cache/urpmi/partial/media.cfg aria2c: aria2c: 08/28 12:38:16 [NOTICE] ServerStat file /root/.aria2-adaptive-stats saved successfully. aria2c: aria2c: Download Results: aria2c: gid |stat|avg speed |path/URI aria2c: ======+====+===========+======================================================= aria2c: 93759d|OK | 9.7MiB/s|/var/cache/urpmi/partial/media.cfg aria2c: aria2c: Status Legend: aria2c: (OK):download completed. $MIRRORLIST media/media_info/media.cfg récupéré opening rpmdb (root=, write=) ``` Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Computer: Dell OptiPlex 7050

With a reasonable /var partition, playing around with urpmi (using curl instead of aria2) made everything work as expected. Hence I mark this bug as unconfirmed.

Mageia 6 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-09-30. It is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. 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. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we weren't able to fix it before Mageia 6's end of life. If you 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. If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you most [2].
