Prefer to use dnf/dnfdragora to update my systems, however whatever applet dnfdragora uses, it does not appear in the LXQt panel when updates are available. Waited almost four hours (update check is 3 hours) and nothing occurred. See https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=14572 for some information. Was able to turn mgaapplet back on manually via instructions found at https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1431 and rebooted. mgaapplet appeared after a few minutes indicating updates are available.
Once mgaapplet turned on as described above, I used it (via urpmi.update?) to update, rather than using dnf or dnfdragora.
Did you install the package "dnfdragora-updater" - Update notifier applet for dnfdragora?

Ah, you said in the subject... I'm too tired...
(In reply to Morgan Leijström from comment #2) > Did you install the package "dnfdragora-updater" - Update notifier applet > for dnfdragora? Actually, that package was not installed. That bring up another issue though: when the package 'dnfdragora' is installed, it adds 'dnfdragora' AND 'dnfdragora-updater' to the LXQt Preferences menu, so I assumed it *was* installed. Apparently, it wasn't. If 'urpmi' (urpmdrake?) is the preferred method of updating Mageia, I'd rather use that, to avoid problems.
So the problem is: package dnfdragora adds also 'dnfdragora-updater' to the LXQt Preferences menu. Assigning maintainer. --- @Edward Thank you for reporting and the further check :) Yes URPMI is the default and most tested on Mageia, but DNF should work. https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Using_DNF https://wiki.mageia.org/en/URPMI

Summary: dnfdragora-updater does not display applet indicating when updates are available => dnfdragora adds also dnfdragora-updater to menu even when the updater is not installed.
Source RPM: dnfdragora-updater-2.1.1-1.mga8.noarch.rpm => dnfdragora-2.1.1-1.mga8.src.rpm
Actually it is dnfdragora-common-2.1.1-1.mga8.noarch.rpm which adds the application menu entrys: /usr/share/applications/org.mageia.dnfdragora-localinstall.desktop /usr/share/applications/org.mageia.dnfdragora-updater.desktop /usr/share/applications/org.mageia.dnfdragora.desktop dnfdragora-common is a dependency of dnfdragora. But dnfdragora-updater is not pulled as dependency.
Sorry about that. One of my earlier bug reports was changed, the package was replaced with the SRC RPM and that's when I realiced the bug reports really require that, not the actual RPM. The pkg db has no SRC package for dnfdragora-updater itself.
Source RPM: dnfdragora-2.1.1-1.mga8.src.rpm => dnfdragora-common-2.1.1-1.mga8.noarch.rpm
dnfdragora-2.1.1-1.mga8.src.rpm is the right package which needs to get fixed as it is missing dnfdragora-updater as dependency.
Source RPM: dnfdragora-common-2.1.1-1.mga8.noarch.rpm => dnfdragora-2.1.1-1.mga8.src.rpm
So I had it right originally. Oh boy. Thanks for fixing it.
