One thing comes up my mind from past incidents while suse upgrades. Dont forget about to-be-upgraded systems when changing essential stuff such as compression compatibility an opensuse version some years ago, that had a show stopper that caused incompatibility in the rpm packages while zypper dup-ing or something similar, which made it necessary to use an updated rpm and or some related libs first before being able to perform a zypper dup.
Well, once you start thinking, you will recognize that this situation - requiring an updated rpm - is inevitable: A sufficiently old rpm program just is not going to be able to read a sufficiently new rpm package. That is to say, even if rpm has had feature X for time Y, some dude will try to upgrade from a version older than Y. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
