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?

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.

Check using "urpmq --list-url".

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.
