When I am trying to install the task-gnome metapackage for Mageia Cauldron, RPMDrake throws an error saying that it has unmet dependencies for gnome-shell, resulting in not being able to install the GNOME desktop environment. I then tried to install gnome-shell to see the error logs in the terminal, and it threw me an error message saying that it depends on chrome-gnome-shell, but it cannot find the package since it was replaced by gnome-browser-connector. Please change gnome-shell's dependency to gnome-browser-connector as soon as possible. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): GNOME Shell: 42.4-1 GNOME Browser Connector: 42.0-1 How reproducible: By either trying to install the task-gnome(-minimal) metapackage or gnome-shell Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go into your preferred choice for managing packages (rpmdrake, dnfdragora or urpmi/dnf in the terminal) 2. Try to install the aforementioned packages
Hardware: All => x86_64
This is the exact error message when I use the command "sudo urpmi task-gnome": While some packages may have been installed, there were failures. A requested package cannot be installed: gnome-shell-42.4-1.mga9.x86_64 (due to unsatisfied chrome-gnome-shell)
And this is the DNF error message: Problem: conflicting requests - package task-gnome-1:42.2-1.mga9.noarch requires task-gnome-minimal, but none of the providers can be installed - package task-gnome-minimal-1:42.2-1.mga9.noarch requires gnome-shell, but none of the providers can be installed - nothing provides chrome-gnome-shell needed by gnome-shell-42.4-1.mga9.i586 - nothing provides chrome-gnome-shell needed by gnome-shell-42.4-1.mga9.x86_64
an ugly workaround : rpm -e --nodeps chrome-gnome-shell urpmi gnome-browser-connector

Fixed with gnome-shell >= 42.4-2.mga9 and gnome-browser-connector >= 42.0-2.mga9.
