Yes, Cauldron is the fixed codename of the development version of Mageia.
Currently, Cauldron is the future Mageia 4.

Try to issue the command "lsb_release -d" to see what is displayed.
If you are running stable Mageia 3, you should not see any "mga4" 
reference anywhere.

However, only "trinity-perl-dcop" is an actual package. The other 2 are 
metapackage, which can not be installed because at least one actual 
package cannot be installed.

I'm using Mageia 3 as my primary desktop so I can easily see problems 
with this distribution.
The only "trick" that may occur in Mageia during TDE installation, is 
that you must enable the "non-free" repositories, because some TDE 
programs need some non-free libraries (mostly mp3 and other mpeg stuff).
