ROME update not updating

Support
1

Hello,

  • _OpenMandriva Lx version:_25.01 ROME

  • Desktop environment (KDE, LXQT…): KDE

  • Description of the issue (screenshots if relevant):
    For an unknown reason my wallpaper reverted to the default image this morning. In discover there was an system update and I went to install it and it failed with [the same] error. I did the terminal update command and here is the log to see if it was any smarter.

dsync2-log.txt (1.3 KB)

Discover as well now opens with an error. [all 3 error messages are the same]

Error when getting information for file “/var/cache/PackageKit/25.01/metadata/rolling-znver1-25.01-x86_64/repodata/da0fea5a78008aa3fbd2c12c0e03d1552c95c27c7f09f81d5cf3f4deebd3f02e-appstream.xml.gz”: No such file or directory

Something is broken but I don’t know what or why.

ROME update and Discover can’t stay together in the same sentence :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello,
For some reason I was on the following thread, which lead me to doing the sudo dnf distro-sync --refresh --allowerasing 2>&1| tee dsync2-log.txt line without first stuff, thinking it was one or the other.

So considering you “How to update system link” I added the first line

$ sudo dnf clean all ; dnf clean all ; dnf repolist
$ sudo dnf distro-sync --refresh --allowerasing 2>&1| tee dsync2-log.txt

I kept the other commands so I could get the log
dsync2-log.txt (10.0 KB)

The same errors show up but it seems to have completed the update.

Now, I don’t know if that means all is fixed or not, but immediately after doing that, Discover now has a new upgrade for me… it can’t be the same one right? IDK, but I guess I will update and see what happends?

Looks like we responded at the same time. If you read my most recent response does your post still apply? I will do what you suggest, if you think it is still necessary.

Yep, lol.

Cleaning cache never hurts.
Afterwards, forget that Discover exists :wink:
Discover is good at what it’s name implies: discover what is there [cit.]

Wow that was a big upgrade. Looks to have completed without any errors.

I’m going to mark your response as the solution. Thanks.
