Updating through MCC gives following error: Sorry, the following package cannot be selected: - msec-0.80.10-2.4.mga1.x86_64
maybe related to bug 2317
for the update see bug 2255. What is your mirror ?
Well, i'd need the reason WHY it cannot be selected. Mirror shouldn't really the problem, otherwise latest msec update would not be available. But nevertheless, could be useful.

Strange. More info needed. Please run urpmi --debug --test msec 2>&1 | tee /tmp/urpmi-log.txt and then attach the urmpi-log.txt.

(In reply to comment #10) > Created attachment 1047 [details] > urpmi-log It shows ... the more recent rpm-4.8.1-11.mga2.x86_64 is installed That's the cauldron version of rpm, which should not be installed in a Mageia 1 system. Run rpm -qa|grep mga2 to get a full list of cauldron packages installed on the system. You'll have to use urpmi --allow-force rpm-4.8.1-10.2.mga1.x86_64 and answer yes to the use force, to downgrade rpm back to the Mageia 1 version.

(Y/n) Y .......but doesn't install rpm-4.8.1-10.2.mga1.x86_64, so rpm-4.8.1-11.mga2.x86_64 is still there. I am very sorry for bothering you with some stupidity i may have caused myself, without actually being aware of this.
I would try running urpmi --clean urpmi --test meta-task lib64rpm1 p11-kit lib64p11-kit0 lib64hogweed2 lib64nettle4 rpm The first will delete anything old in /var/cache/urpmi/rpms. The second will download all of the mageia 1 versions of those rpm packages into the cache directory. Then run cd /var/cache/urpmi/rpms rpm -i --force *.rpm
AFAICT this won't work, urpmi doesn't support installing older versions over newer version (without Epoch). One would have to use rpm --oldpackage for all of these packages for that. Already posted that in isadora's forum report.
Yeah guys, thanks for all your input. As far as it is not really disturbing me yet, i will leave it. Probably a new install some time later.
Please remember to not try validating some updates in between :p
