Hi, could you add the /root/drakx/report.bug.xz as an attachment

(btw, for me, minimal is without X)

Yeah, the nonfree nvidia-nsight has several provides that makes it get selected over the wanted:

qt-creator
libhyphen0
lib64hyphen0
libjpeg8
lib64jpeg8
libpng12_0
lib64png12_0


I just pushed a  meta-task-7-1.1.mga7 that will make urpmi/rpmdrake prefer the free apps/libs from core

Advisory:
Updated preferred packages list

The nonfree nvidia-nsight package has some provides that sometimes can cause it to get installed instead of the expected qt-creator, lib(64)hyphen0, lib(64)jpeg8
and lib(64)png12_0 packages.

This update adds the expected packages to the preferred list, ensuring they get installed.


SRPMS:
mageia-repos-7-4.mga7.src.rpm
meta-task-7-1.1.mga7.src.rpm


i586:
mageia-repos-7-4.mga7.i586.rpm
mageia-repos-keys-7-4.mga7.noarch.rpm
mageia-repos-pkgprefs-7-4.mga7.noarch.rpm
meta-task-7-1.1.mga7.noarch.rpm


x86_64:
mageia-repos-7-4.mga7.x86_64.rpm
mageia-repos-keys-7-4.mga7.noarch.rpm
mageia-repos-pkgprefs-7-4.mga7.noarch.rpm
meta-task-7-1.1.mga7.noarch.rpm



Note to testers, the lib order is harder to test as urpmi mostly gets that right because of other deps on normal installs, but the qt-creator package is easy to test this update with:


Before this update:
LC_ALL=C urpmi "libCore.so()(64bit)"
In order to satisfy the 'qt-creator|nvidia-nsight' dependency, one of the following packages is needed:
 1- nvidia-nsight-10.1.168-1.mga7.nonfree.x86_64: NVIDIA Nsight IDE (to install)
 2- qt-creator-4.9.0-1.mga7.x86_64: Qt Creator is a lightweight, cross-platform integrated development environment (IDE) (to install)


After this update:
LC_ALL=C urpmi "libCore.so()(64bit)"
In order to satisfy the 'qt-creator|nvidia-nsight' dependency, one of the following packages is needed:
 1- qt-creator-4.9.0-1.mga7.x86_64: Qt Creator is a lightweight, cross-platform integrated development environment (IDE) (to install)
 2- nvidia-nsight-10.1.168-1.mga7.nonfree.x86_64: NVIDIA Nsight IDE (to install)


and if you want to test on 32bit, remove the "(64bit)" from the urpmi command

Component: Installer => RPM Packages

on mga7-64

Before update:
# urpmi "libCore.so()(64bit)"
In order to satisfy the 'qt-creator|nvidia-nsight' dependency, one of the following packages is needed:
 1- nvidia-nsight-10.1.168-1.mga7.nonfree.x86_64: NVIDIA Nsight IDE (to install)
 2- qt-creator-4.9.0-1.mga7.x86_64: Qt Creator is a lightweight, cross-platform integrated development environment (IDE) (to install)

packages installed cleanly:
- meta-task-7-1.1.mga7.noarch
- mageia-repos-7-4.mga7.x86_64
- mageia-repos-keys-7-4.mga7.noarch
- mageia-repos-pkgprefs-7-4.mga7.noarch

#  urpmi "libCore.so()(64bit)"
In order to satisfy the 'qt-creator|nvidia-nsight' dependency, one of the following packages is needed:
 1- qt-creator-4.9.0-1.mga7.x86_64: Qt Creator is a lightweight, cross-platform integrated development environment (IDE) (to install)
 2- nvidia-nsight-10.1.168-1.mga7.nonfree.x86_64: NVIDIA Nsight IDE (to install)

leaving the qt-creator package selected results in a long list of dependencies:
 
....
375MB of additional disk space will be used.
96MB of packages will be retrieved.
Proceed with the installation of the 114 packages? 

if that is expected, the update is OK for mga7-64

This confirms the expected order.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that qt-creator is a development IDE, so it pulls in a lot of developent stuff..., ...

So it's all OK

Testing `urpmi "libCore.so()(64bit)"` here, after installing meta-task, I get nvidia-nsight installed automatically.

It's likely because I already have qt-creator installed, so I guess it's expected.

Hello, Thomas Backlund.
I don't want to seem Intrusive... Still... Please look at the last two screenshots: 6-Mageia-7-minimal-installation-from-classic-iso and 7-Mageia-7-minimal-netinstall-with-meta-task-7-1.1.png. Why is the size of the minimum installation via netinstaller almost 2 times larger than the same minimum installation from the classic ISO: 3.0 GB vs 1.7 GB?

With respect,
Alex

Because stage2 installer on mirrors is not updated to have last meta-task yet.

It will be soon-ish

Status: REOPENED => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

Also, net-install will always be a bit bigger than when installed from CI as the installer has a list of "install if available" so since there are more rpms on mirrors than on DVD...

Not to mention, if you allow "Recommended packages" to get installed it will be even bigger...

Thomas, 1.3 GB is a significant increase (we collect bootable flash drives from Mageia Linux). And without the recommended packages, problems usually emerge, primarily with graphics drivers and the network. You have in the distribution, incidentally, is still not enough packages wpa_supplicant and wpa_supplicant-gui: without them, the wifi is not working. But that's probably a different story, OK. Thank you, then I'll wait. Sorry to bother you.

p.s. And forgive me for my bad English. I write through online the translator.

With respect,
Alex

The difference of installed packages from a DVD and netinstall

Hello, Thomas Backlund.

I decided to compare the lists of packages that are put by default in the minimum installation (+X) c DVD and over the network with using Mageia-7-netinstall-x86_64.iso.

In the attachment You will find the files:
---
dvd - the list of packages, which is put from the classic DVD
netinstall - the list of packages that is installed when installing from the network
diff-result - comparison result file

I ask You to pay attention that the package "meta-task-7-1.1" (new) participates in installation of the minimum system from a network.

Please pay special attention to the "nvidia-nsight" package. It is this nonfree package that attracts the most some extra packages that increase the total size of the system on the disk by 1.3 GB when installed from the network. 

This package is not available when installing from a classic DVD. I do not exclude that in this list You will find and other unnecessary packages.

Additionally, I beg You to pay attention to the fact that with minimal installation via the network, the system lacks the package "lib64hyphen0", so drakconf does not start (this also applies to a network installation).

I hope that these lists and the result of the comparison will be useful in order to make a minimal installation of Mageia-7 minimal.

With respect,
Alex

Status: RESOLVED => REOPENED
Resolution: FIXED => (none)

As I told you, this will be fully fixed when the new installer lands on the mirrors (it's lfinally currently mirroring out)

The lib64hyphen0 is also provided by nvidia-nsight, so it got pulled in.

Wnth the new stage2 installer on the mirror, it has access to the correct meta-task, and wont install nvidia-nsight anymore

Hello, Thomas. I downloaded the new Mageia-7.1-netinstall-x86_64.iso and French mirrors installed Mageia-7.1. nvidia-nsight is back in place, and the minimum installation (+X) Mageia-7.1 from the network is still 1.3GB more classic with DVD and is as before 3.1GB. I use the right installer (stage2)?

With respect,
Alex

ok, that should not happend :/
It did not happend here :(

Can you attach the /root/drakx/report.bug.xz from an affected install

Created attachment 11194 [details]
report.bug.xz for Thomas Backlund

@Alex, how big partition are you installing on ?


@Thierry, any idea about this ?
Is this an urpmi bug (or feature) ?

from report.bug in comment 29:

In the begining it does the correct:
* requiring lib64hyphen0[== 2.8.8-7.mga7] for hyphen-2.8.8-7.mga7.x86_64
* chosen lib64hyphen0-2.8.8-7.mga7.x86_64 for lib64hyphen0[== 2.8.8-7.mga7]
* selecting lib64hyphen0-2.8.8-7.mga7.x86_64


But then we get size problems later on:
* disabling selected packages because too big for level 5: 5519605184 > 5426932879.5191
...
* unselecting lib64hyphen0-2.8.8-7.mga7.x86_64
...


and later on when it goes through the deps again:
* packageCallbackChoices: default choice ('nvidia-nsight') from nvidia-nsight,lib64hyphen0 for libhyphen.so.0()(64bit)
* replacing libhyphen.so.0()(64bit) with nvidia-nsight

even if we have in meta-task:
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/updates/7/meta-task/current/SOURCES/prefer.vendor.list?r1=1416229&r2=1416228&pathrev=1416229

# prefer free packages over nvidia-nsight
qt-creator
libhyphen0
lib64hyphen0
libjpeg8
lib64jpeg8
libpng12_0
lib64png12_0

I guess the reason I dont hit it is I usually have 20GB disks, even in vbox

CC: (none) => thierry.vignaud

Thomas, for a single DE installation I usually use: swap(1GB)+'/'(7GB). In addition I attach the report.bug.xz VM with 20GB hard drive [swap(1GB)+'/'(19GB)]. The result of the installation is the same, without changes. :(

ok, you definately are able to trigger an urpmi bug:

here it keeps flipping between lib64jpeg8 and nvidia-nsight:

* packageCallbackChoices: default choice ('lib64jpeg8') from lib64jpeg8,nvidia-nsight for libjpeg.so.8()(64bit)
* packageCallbackChoices: default choice ('nvidia-nsight') from nvidia-nsight,lib64jpeg8 for libjpeg.so.8()(64bit)
* packageCallbackChoices: default choice ('lib64jpeg8') from lib64jpeg8,nvidia-nsight for libjpeg.so.8(LIBJPEG_8.0)(64bit)
* packageCallbackChoices: default choice ('nvidia-nsight') from nvidia-nsight,lib64jpeg8 for libjpeg.so.8()(64bit)

Ah, crap...

Seems we got bitten by the buildsystem bug that hit us way back when we had to remove versioned module provides for kernels

It failed to install the peferred meta-task in chroot when it built stage2, despite it was already in updates, so the fixed prefer.vendor.list is not in stage2

I will fix up stage2 again ....

Hello, Thomas. Hurray! This variant works! The minimum installation size is normal and is 1.9GB, nvidia-nsight is missing and drakconf is works. Everything is great! Thank you very much for your help. :)
