[Mageia-discuss] urpmi does fetches packages from a mirror, even if they exist on the install DVD

[Juergen Harms]

I just installed Beta 3 - very smooth install, boot time has 
substantially shortened, great.

But, after the install I do urpmi <list of additional packages>, and 
there is a big snare: all packages are fetched from the remote mirror, 
even if they exist on the install DVD. As a consequence, loading 
packages after install becomes very tedious and long (for instance if I 
post-load packages like texlive-texmf of libreoffice).

I verifified in /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg: the "cdrom:.." medium is well 
defined (and does not have an "ignore" statement).

To create a demo that can be easily reproduced, I did urpme xmag : the 
package is fetched from the mirror, although a package with the same 
version exists on the install DVD.

Did I commit some stupid error? - does this problem arrive elsewhere?
