Hence I've decided to post my reply +to one comment here. + +(In reply to comment #8) + +><i> Well the first step here would be that the packager & the QA team after to +</I>><i> install package from testing withurpmi --use-media "Core Testing" yourpackage +</I> +Ever since bug 2317 was opened, qa have been watching for packages +being installed from the Release repositories. + +The problem is, that the only way to recreate this problem is to start +with a Mandriva 2010.2 system, with task-kde4 installed AND the package +called root. + +When the op upgraded from Mandriva, the version specific dependencies +of the package called root (or one of it's dependencies) prevented the +Mandriva versions of libiodbc2 from being upgraded. + +Now, when an upgrade of task-kde4 is being installed using mgaapplet, +it (or one of it's dependencies) has a version specific requires, or +selects the package because it has a higher release, or version, for +a package that is only in Core Release, so the update fails. + +This didn't happen during beta testing, as none of the people doing +the beta testing had the package called root installed from Mandriva. + +I may be wrong about which package prevented the dependencies from +being installed, but that doesn't matter. Some Mandriva package +(not available in Mageia 1) has version specific requires, which +blocked the update during the upgrade to Mageia. + +The only possible methods of dealing with this (as I see it) ... +- Alter MegeiaUpdate to do the equivalent of urpmi --auto-select +- link all of the Release packages in the Release repositories + in corresponding Updates Testing and Updates repositories. + (Massive synthesis.hdlist.cz files) +- Create installations of Mandriva 2010.2 with all possible combinations + of packages, and test every update on each installation. + (Not possible with time/diskspace) +- For each update, get a list of every dependency, then get a list of + every package that requires that dependency on Mandriva 2010.2, and + check each of the .spec files for version dependant requires, and + link those packages only, to both Updates Testing, and Updates. + (Very time consuming for QA). + +While changing MageiaUpdate to do the equivalent of urpmi --auto-select +will have an impact on speed, it is the only reasonable solution, in +my opinion. + +I tried to provide a patch to fix the problem, it failed, as it also +picked up suggestions from non-enabled repositories. While I can usually +figure out what perl code does, I'm not a perl programmer. We need +someone who knows perl and urpmi, to fix this, and quickly. + +Regards, Dave Hodgins +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="008197.html">[Mageia-dev] systemd vs dm +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="008081.html">[Mageia-dev] Bug 2317. +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#8079">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#8079">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#8079">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#8079">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
