+
+I prepared a virtual machine with the same set of packages I have in the
+real one with mageia 2 to test the upgrade.
+Once installed the mageia-prepare-upgrade package, I rebooted using the
+"Mageia 3 Upgrade Preparation" entry. Since the instructions don't say
+anything, I used that same entry to perform the upgrade (should I have
+rebooted in the original, plain, mageia 2).
+
+Anyway, these are the issues I found:
+
+0) In the "Mageia 3 Upgrade Preparation"  NetworkManager stopped
+working, in its place the network applet was used (after the upgrade
+both worked).
+
+1) every other transaction complained with this message:
+
+p11-kit: invalid config filename, will be ignored in the future:
+/etc/pkcs11/modules/gnome-keyring-module
+
+2) with less frequency there were these messages (usually 13 in a row,
+with different 'xxx').
+
+warning: Schema 'xxx' has path 'xxx'. Paths starting with '/apps/',
+'/desktop/' or '/system/' are deprecated.
+
+3) a handful of packages complained that they couldn't remove files in
+/var/run (I suppose that's to be expected)
+
+4) some packages took a long time to execute the %post script
+
+/bin/systemctl --quiet --try-restart (package)
+
+which eventually failed
+
+5) rtkit hung on the %post script
+dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus /
+org.freedesktop.DBus.ReloadConfig
+
+Eventually I had to kill dbus-send to go on with the upgrade
+
+6) some packages (e.g., cups, rpcbind, networkmanager and others) gave
+this message
+
+Migrating sysvinit service 'xxx' to systemd native unit 'xxx.service'
+via systemd install rules.
+Failed to issue method call: File exists
+
+7) there was a file conflict between kipi-plugins and
+kipi-plugins-htmlexport, I urpmed the latter.
+
+8) I had some problem rebooting (I was using a konsole in kde), the kde
+menu bar didn't work, trying to do an acpi shutdown didn't work, text
+console didn't work. Eventually I just pulled the virtual plug.
+
+9) plymouthd complained but I hadn't time to write down the message, it
+eventually booted fine (but with no graphical menu, probably because the
+initrd was generated running the "Mageia 3 Upgrade Preparation" entry).
+
+Apart from these problems, it seems the upgrade went well, though I
+didn't do any extensive testing (just booted it).
+
+Bye
