Description of problem: Mageia2-beta3 in VirtualBox running on Mageia1. KDE is installed. Trying to install task-gnome. While installing evolution-webcal the screen freezes completely. I must close VB. The next try freezes while it installs qemu. I must close VB. Then I finally install using urpmi task-gnome I had this problem some time ago; but it looked as if it had gone away, but now it is back. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpmdrake-5.33-1 task-gnome-3.4.0-3 urpmi-6.48-1 How reproducible: It is not reproducible, sorry. Oh, now it hangs initializing, but it responds by "Please wait is not responding" This comes from rpmdrake. What else do you need? Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
I can add that the library files used by qemu actually had lengths of zero. They gave a lot of warnings when I installed task-gnome by urpmi. Question: can a lot of warnings saturate rpmdrake, so that it hangs? I uninstalled the offending rpm packages by urpme When I used urpmi --auto-update, they were not re-installed. It appears to me that there must be a bug in rpmdrake or some of its subsystems if faulty packages can hang the system.
you have error in /var/log/messages ?

I am going to install from beta3-DVD to see what happens.
A fresh install of i586 from beta3 DVD went well without any problems.
