This was fixed for xcb-util-keysyms in Cauldron by tv, but the fix wasn't backported.  It turns out this issue also affects xcb-util-image and xcb-util-renderutil.

I have uploaded packages to Mageia 2 and Cauldron to fix this.

Advisory
--------

This provides updated xcb-util-image, xcb-util-keysyms, and xcb-util-renderutil
packages that will properly replace xcb-image, xcb-keysyms, and xcb-render-util
packages when upgrading from Mageia 1.

Updated RPMs:
libxcb-util-image0-0.3.8-1.1.mga2
libxcb-util-image-devel-0.3.8-1.1.mga2
libxcb-util-keysyms1-0.3.8-3.1.mga2
libxcb-util-keysyms-devel-0.3.8-3.1.mga2
libxcb-util-renderutil0-0.3.8-1.1.mga2
libxcb-util-renderutil-devel-0.3.8-1.1.mga2

Testing complete mga2 64

Installed a minimal mga1 64 VM and updated it.

Installed vlc which brought in several lib64xcb packages including lib64xcb-keysyms1.

Changed to mga2 64bit medias and attempted the upgrade.

# urpmi.removemedia -a
# urpmi.addmedia --distrib http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/2/x86_64

# urpmi --auto-select

Allowed it to update rpm & urpmi etc and ran it again with tee to capture the output. Ignored some conflicts and selected No to performing the install.

# urpmi --auto-select | tee autoselect.txt

# grep keysyms autoselect.txt

Shows nothing.

Set Core Updates Testing as an update media and enabled it by editting /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg and adding 'update' against it and removing 'ignored'.

Updated the medias and tried again.

# urpmi.update -a
# urpmi --auto-select | tee autoselect.txt

# grep keysyms autoselect.txt
lib64xcb-util-keysyms1    0.3.8    3.1.mga2    x86_64

So confirmed it is now installed during upgrade from mga1 to mga2 where it wasn't before.


On the host computer noticed it was already installed, vlc must have used it, which has already been validated.

# rpm -qa | grep xcb-util
lib64xcb-util0-0.3.8-3.mga2
lib64xcb-util-keysyms1-0.3.8-3.mga2

Testing complete on Mageia 2 i586.

Could someone from the sysadmin team push the srpms
xcb-util-image-0.3.8-1.1.mga2.src.rpm
xcb-util-keysyms-0.3.8-3.1.mga2.src.rpm
xcb-util-renderutil-0.3.8-1.1.mga2.src.rpm
from Mageia 2 Core Updates Testing to Core Updates.

Advisory: This provides updated xcb-util-image, xcb-util-keysyms,
and xcb-util-renderutil packages so they will properly replace
xcb-image, xcb-keysyms, and xcb-render-util packages when upgrading
from Mageia 1.
