It pays to log everything from the beginning +using "script mga2-upgrade.log" before starting the urpmi command and +inspecting this logfile using less in another terminal window. After you +manually upgraded the problematic rpm in question (each time, just +replacing a single rpm or a small number of rpms listed in the failed +transaction in order to be able to retry from a different configuration +afterwards solved the problem for me), just rerun "urpmi --replacefiles +--auto-update --auto". + +Since the new kernel (kernel-vserver in my case) is installed fairly +early, I explicitely removed and reinstalled the two files +(kernel(-vserver) and kernel(vserver)-latest) before restarting to be +safe--this might not be needed. + +The only unexpected problem after a reboot was that the now +systemd-based initialisation aborted because it was not possible to +mount the windows partitions (this is a dual-boot setting with a +hibernated Windows instance); after commenting out these partitions in +/etc/fstab, a reboot succeeded. + +Since I always upgraded the laptop instead of doing a clean reinstall, I +still have some >100 mdv packages (2009.0 and later) on it--maybe these +should be inspected/moved one day, but all in all, I'm rather happy with +the way the upgrade went. :) + +Ad astra, Markus + +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="007449.html">[Mageia-discuss] Upgrade to mageia 2, screen upside down ! +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="007435.html">[Mageia-discuss] Upgrade from Mageia1 using urpmi: success story ; ) +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#7432">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#7432">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#7432">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#7432">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
