Description of problem: Making fresh install of Mageia 2 Beta 2. I select media sources, deselect the DVD and selecting "Core Release (distrib 1)" and "Core Updates (distrib 3)". Update rpmdrake to 5.32 1/mg2 noarch. After next try to update packages or install new ones getting the following error message: A fatal error occured: Couldn't open RPM DB () at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.14.2/Rpmdrake/open_db.pm line 74.. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpmdrake 5.32 1/mga2 noarch How reproducible: Did occur in Beta 1 and also in Beta 2, does occur every time, I have made 3 new installs. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Mageia 2 Beta 2, without updating packages 2. Choose media sources, and update rpmdrake 3. Try to update again (any packages). PS: In one Blog I read this problem would have been fixed, but I could not find any bug reporting this, and this problem still persist for me
This problem is now fixed. But as beta2 is broken you need to do the first update with urpmi. * add media sources (do not update rpmdrake with gui) * from cli: urpmi --auto-update After that everything should be OK. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 4918 ***
