You are using mirrorlist instead of a fixed server. Mirrorlist picks automatically the nearest/fastest server for you, but this server can be out of sync with the source/tier 1 mirror. So you had bad luck and had a not properly synced mirror. For cauldron/Mageia 9 it is highly recommended to pick a defined server instead of using mirrorlist. As the frequency of package updates for cauldron is really high it is recommended to use a tier 1 mirror. Always have a look for the status of a server: https://mirrors.mageia.org/status https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mirror_List Recommendation for cauldron and specific mirror: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Cauldron#How_to_install_Mageia_Cauldron Hint for specific mirror: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Installing_and_removing_software#Adding_a_specific_Media_Mirror Thus closing INVALID.

I have added the (de)tuxinator2 mirror and it worked for the updates repo but not for the core release 9 repo. After that I have also tried the (de)stud-fh-esslingen and the (de)ftp5.gwdg.de mirror but the core repo currently appears to work with none. As it seems there may be a problem with multiple mirrors at the time.

Created attachment 13595 [details] screen log setting tuxinator mirror and urpmi --auto-updating Same errors as yesterday. Something fails here and that not just with one of the mirrors. Urpmi still works quite well in spite of the errors. It has just installed mutt and now some updates (log). However if things are like this I do not really dare to install x11-driver-video-nvidia390 for bug 30568 since I need to be able to remove the nvidia driver if it should not work to replace it by nouveau again. If I invoke aria2 on the printed url it works, like yesterday. Why does it not have a fallback to the generic url for the repo index? Downloading packages like mutt works from tuxinator2 and other mirrors.
You only added mirrors without removing the not working ones. This can be seen in your output as you have over 70!!! mirrors in your list. And thats why you again, and again get this error. You need to remoev your broken set of mirrors first. Remove all mirrors: urpmi.removemedia -a Add a new set: urpmi.addmedia --distrib 'http://mirror2.tuxinator.org/mageia/distrib/9/i586/' Have a look at urpmi commands: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/URPMI
Thanks, that has helped now. Perhaps add an option 'replace mirrors' to MCC instead of just adding another mirror since deleting non-working mirrors is essential. Reopening since I wanna put that for consideration.

This function is already there. It is called "Delete" on the right hand side of software management. Mark the mirror/repo and hit delete. Easy. https://doc.mageia.org/mcc/8/en/content/software-management.html#drakrpm-edit-media

I meant it is called "Remove" as seen in the MCC documentation.

Reopening since the given functionality does not seem to be implemented within the gui. The only thing that needs to be done is change 'add mirror' to 'replace mirrors' in the File menu or add a menu entry 'delete all mirrors'.

Bugzilla is unfortunately not the place to learn how a tool works. I recommend to use the extensive Mailinglists and Forums if you need some education how different Mageia tools are designed and are working. (In reply to Elmar Stellnberger from comment #11) > The only thing that needs to be done is change 'add mirror' > to 'replace mirrors' in the File menu.. This functionality isn't implemented in any linux distribution. You only add and delete repositories but never "replace" them. (In reply to Elmar Stellnberger from comment #11) > or add a menu entry 'delete all mirrors'. Did you read and understand the documentation which i pointed you to? Did you even have a look into MCC and tried this? This is already implemeted! You left-click on a repository (or shift click in case you want to mark several repos at once) and hit "Remove" on the right side. Please refrain from opening this bug mindlessly over and over again for no real reason, because you haven't dealt with the tools or don't understand them.

Status: REOPENED => RESOLVEDResolution: (none) => FIXED
There are two different things to configure: a.) mirrors b.) repoositories The main area of the window is about configuring repositories and the buttons on the right belong to the main area, i.e. they add/edit/remove repositories. My request is about deleting non-working mirrors. Mirrors can be added via the File menu, but there is no way to view installed mirrors or to remove them. As you see my question is still unanswered and thus the bug needs to stay open until it is answered.
Status: RESOLVED => REOPENEDResolution: FIXED => (none)
(In reply to Elmar Stellnberger from comment #14) > There are two different things to configure: > a.) mirrors > b.) repoositories The mirrors are web accessible sites that store the repositories. What's stored on Mageia installations are references to repositories on mirrors identified either by mirrorlist or a specific url. You could have core release from one mirror, and core updates from another. In /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg, core release, using the princeton mirror is identified as Core\ Release\ (distrib1) http://mirrors.kernel.org/mageia/distrib/8/x86_64/media/core/release { key-ids: 80420f66 } While it's called adding a mirror in many places, it's adding a set of references to individual repositories on the mirror. Removal of the references is what's already available. The only difference between that and what you are suggesting is "select all", which you can already do my left clicking on the first repository, then holding down the shift key and left clicking on the last one, then selecting remove. Please do not use bugzilla for learning how to use the tools. Use the discuss maling list, or the forums.

You are spamming bugzilla and abusing a Mageia service with that. You are deliberately ignoring information you have already received. You still did not take the chance to educate and inform yourself with the documentation provided. https://doc.mageia.org/mcc/8/en/content/software-management.html#drakrpm-edit-media This official document describes in clear and easy words what you need to know. And there seems to be a basic lack of understandig of mirror/repo terms. Lets use easy words for you from https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Software_management "The first thing to do after an install is to add software sources (a.k.a. repositories, media, mirrors)." You deliberately try to find a difference between mirror/repo." A mirror(server) hosts linux repositories. That means by adding this link via MCC you have add repositories hosted on a mirror/(server). If you delete the link via MCC you lose the path to this mirror/repository and you need to add an other one. View installed mirrors/repositories: Mark a repo and hit "Edit". You can see the URL from the mirror. If it has "mirrorlist" in it you don't use a specific mirror (can also be seen on the main site if you use mirrorlist). You can also manually change/exchange the URL there. Remove installed mirrors/repositories: Mark a repo and hit "Remove". When you remove a repository you remove the link to the mirror. Thats is connected. (In reply to Elmar Stellnberger from comment #14) > My request is about deleting non-working mirrors. Mirrors can be added via > the File menu, but there is no way to view installed mirrors or to remove As i answered this question several times, now a last time in really easy words: View a mirror: Mark repo -> Edit (you see which URL/mirror is used) Remove mirror: Mark repo (which is hosted on that mirror) -> "remove" BTW: It's all the same for advanced linux distributions which use graphic installers (e.g. Yast2-software from openSUSE). You have three buttons "ADD, edit, Remove" and thats it for the basic user. If you are a advanced and informed user you have more specific ways how to do things via GUI menu or command line. Again: Bugzilla is not for user education. You can use the Mailinglists or the forum if you have basic questions about how linux works. Finaly changing this bug to INVALID as there is no technical problem, issue or bug. Only an understanding problem.
It should be possible to replace the mirrors without touching the repository selection, i.e. whether you have debug or backport repos enabled. These two commands have done what I want: urpmi.removemedia -a urpmi.addmedia --distrib 'http://mirror2.tuxinator.org/mageia/distrib/9/i586/' If an experienced user and developer like me can not use that GUI, not even with the documentation you have pointed me at, then there is something wrong here.
