Is the mirror that system is using up-to-date? There`s a problem a one of the
tier 1 mirrors, mirrors.kernel.org, and all of the mirrors that sync from it.
To switch mirrors use
# urpmi.removemedia
Then run drakrpm-edit-media, select File, add a specific media mirror, and
select a mirror that shows as green at
https://mirrors.mageia.org/status
Once that`s done, install all of the updates after which mgaapplet should show
the upgrade option.
Messages have been sent to kernel.org, but no response or change yet.
Regards, Dave Hodgins
