ianw1974 Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Luckily smart packages are 2009.0 so I'm getting them installed now, maybe at least I can try a force-downgrade if it's not too late. Just got to wait for the official 2009.0 mirror to appear with the packages I have so that I can downgrade them. I cannot find a mirror with the 2009.0 packages that got upgraded to 2009.1.

Reiver_Fluffi Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 apperantly it's a server side error but still the people that downloaded, installed and updated are screwed Yet again they don't manage the release process to a reasonable standard (although I expect the one-man PR department to "beg to differ"). Unless you know what you're doing, I suggest you wait for an official announcement before downloading. It usually appears on the official Mandirva Blog. :) The most sensible approach IMO.

ffi Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 well the front page clearly points to 2009.0 for me http://www.mandriva.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 See https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44720 For those, too lazy to read it, here it is again: Ok, it seems this was fixed, according to ennael on irc : $ GET http://api.mandriva.com/mirrors/basic.2009.0.i586.list | md5sum 077f2e18972dce94a32c2e21f5368b9d - People need to erase /var/cache/urpmi/mirrors.cache to take this in account.

ianw1974 Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I've managed to get most of my system back now to 2009.0, just got to sort out mandriva-release-common Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Done it, manually downloaded from mirror, and now I'm all 2009.0 again. rpm -Uvh --force mandriva-release-* for the two rpms I downloaded - mandriva-release-common and mandriva-release-Free. In hindsight, I could have done this for the other ones too instead of doing a urpme of the packages, and then urpmi'ing the packages again and the dependencies.

ffi Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) I had to downgrade: the release files (mandriva-release-common and mandriva-release-XXXXX, where XXXX is dependent on your version of mdv, ie free, powepack, one) harddrake and its dependencies drakx-kbd-mouse-x11 about 9 files in total Edited October 9, 2008 by ffi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinynorman Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 The announcement from the official blog is now in Portal News. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 You don't really need to bother downgrading anything but mandriva-release packages. None of the other changes are major or unstable, you can just go ahead and keep them. The mirror list isn't hardcoded into any package. When repos are added it basically just asks api.mandriva.com to provide repositories for whatever version it identifies itself as (according to /etc/product.id). This wasn't updated for 2009 release until a couple of hours after Fred sent the initial announcement to Cooker and the forums, though it was already fixed before I sent the announcement to all other sites, and the official PR still hasn't been issued yet. So yes, we're sorry about that, but it will only affect the earliest of early adopters. I think everyone affected is likely reading this thread or the one on the official forum. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 will grab this tonight. would be cool if it picked up my bluetooth keyboard for the install :D (no points docked if it doesn't, though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Well, from using this for the last two weeks because I upgraded from 2008.1 to 2009.0 RC2 because of a shut down problem, it's fast, and stable. A few bugs, but nothing serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
