  • Clean install Mag9, Thunderbird can't be updated

    From Ar@2:250/0 to All on Tue Jan 16 18:36:15 2024
    Two week old clean Mageia 9 x86_84 install. Fully up to date, for the
    past few days these updates can't be installed.


    Sorry, the following packages cannot be selected:



    - thunderbird-115.6.0-1.mga9.x86_64 (due to unsatisfied lib64nss3[>= 2:3.96.1])

    - thunderbird-en_GB-115.6.0-1.mga9.noarch (due to unsatisfied
    thunderbird[== 0:115.6.0])

    This should be OK now.

    I do believe all the mirrors are up-to-date.

    There was a problem with https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32642
    which was for firefox and nss that took a while to figure out.

    The thunderbird and firefox/nss updates both passed testing, and were marked for movement from updates testing to updates.

    The thunderbird update got moved, but the firefox/nss update failed to get pushed.

    Moving packages from updates testing to updates is handled by a script run by the sysadmins, but it doesn't provide any output that shows why it's failing, so debugging the rare failures is guess work and trial and error till it's fixed.

    Eventually the problem was traced to the aarch64 build not having been done, which
    stopped the movement for all arches for firefox and nss, till it was done too.

    It should be fixed now though. What mirror are you using?

    It is done as I have updated all earlier this afternoon, including these

    Thank you for your explanation of the issue. I forgot to check the bug list.

    All I can find out is "$MIRRORLIST". I don't know what specifics of
    where it is linking to though.

    I just looked in to manually changing the mirror list and the updates
    (and more) are there. So there must be something wrong with the UK
    mirror in not having the up to date list. All of a sudden I have 37
    files to download / update.

    Strange. According to https://mirrors.mageia.org/status that mirror is up-to-date.
    https://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/mageia.org/pub/mageia/distrib/9/x86_64/media/core/updates/firefox-115.6.0-1.mga9.x86_64.rpm
    https://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/mageia.org/pub/mageia/distrib/9/x86_64/media/core/updates/nss-3.96.1-1.mga9.x86_64.rpm
    https://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/mageia.org/pub/mageia/distrib/9/x86_64/media/core/updates/thunderbird-115.6.0-1.mga9.x86_64.rpm

    The rpm packages are there, and the status page checks the media configuration files used to indicate which packages are on the mirror.

    I was going to suggest using "urpmq --list-media active" to confirm which repos were enabled, but as the mirror has been changed and the updates now found,
    it no longer matters.
