Description of problem: In testing an upgrade from my workstation's Mageia 8 system to Mageia 9/cauldron using the following commands: """ ROOT_CAULDRON='/mnt/tmp' URL='http://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/mageia.org/distrib/cauldron/x86_64/' urpmi.removemedia --urpmi-root "$ROOT_CAULDRON" -a urpmi.addmedia --urpmi-root "$ROOT_CAULDRON" --distrib "$URL" urpmi --split-length 0 --auto-update --auto """ results in the following error message being displayed: """ detecting looping forever while trying to resolve dependencies. Aborting... Try again with '-vv --debug' options at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/URPM/Resolve.pm line 1288. """ and the actual upgrade not starting. This upgrade is being tested in a overlay FS over the root and run in a systemd-nspawn container. I have used this setup multiple times before so it probably is not the unusual setup that is causing the issue. The upgrade log is in attachment. How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start with a Mageia 8 system. 2. Create overlayfs over the root. 3. Start a systemd-nspawn container with the overlayfs as root (systemd-nspawn --network-veth --network-bridge=br0 -D "$ROOT_CAULDRON" --boot). 4. Remove old repositories (urpmi.removemedia -a). 5. Add cauldron repositories (urpmi.addmedia --distrib "$URL"). 6. Run update (urpmi --split-length 0 --auto-update --auto) 7. See aborted update and error message.

Is glibc in /etc/urpmi/skip.list ?

(In reply to Dave Hodgins from comment #2) > Is glibc in /etc/urpmi/skip.list ? Yes, it is (/^glibc/). After clearing the skip.list, the upgrade continued without problems. Marking this bug as invalid, caused by user incompetence! Thanks.
