Description of problem: Mageia 7 provides the following RPMs datanucleus-api-jdo datanucleus-api-jdo-javadoc datanucleus-core datanucleus-core-javadoc datanucleus-rdbms datanucleus-rdbms-javadoc datanucleus-maven-parent Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.x The problem is that none of these versions of datanucleus software are supported. They are from back in 2013. I know, because I write DataNucleus software and am the main developer for it. The currently supported versions are v5.1 and v5.2, see http://www.datanucleus.org/documentation/products.html

I have no idea why Guillaume imported these packages, but packaging Java stuff like this is very problematic, and none of it is up to date. The Java stack is a house of cards with so many interdependencies and it's almost impossible to update anything, as updating one thing usually breaks several other things. Also, we certainly don't have the manpower to maintain these packages ourselves. We just sync them with Fedora. You really should report this to Fedora, as that's where it needs to be fixed. They have more manpower, but even they don't do a good job of maintaining their Java stack, as they don't have enough resources for it either. Not only is stuff out of date, but there's dozens of known security vulnerabilities that have been fixed in upstreams, that Fedora never gets around to addressing.
Resolution: (none) => WONTFIXStatus: NEW => RESOLVED
I have no clue what this software is exactly, I only imported it in order to satisfy the dependencies of yet another Java package (I can't remember which one exactly), in order to try to fix issue #24018. As David said, unless someone who understand Java volonteer in order to cleanup the current mess, we're doomed to lazily sync with Fedora from times to times.
