So it is advised to run this operation separately from the system release upgrade to avoid a long lock on the RPM database and allow to control it.  We suggest to before upgrading Mageia 10, adding docker to {{file|/etc/urpmi/skip.list}} to avoid it being updated, and after successful Mageia upgrade and you are sure you have time and disk space, remove it from list and perform system update.      ===== LiveCD Tools ===== ===== LiveCD Tools ===== Bcornec
