Hi! I did a zypper dup last night on a post beta2 factory installation.

900M should be downloaded, updated, reinstalled.

With every new package I got multiple rpmdb2solv zombie processes in "ps xa". Close to the end of the dup process, it were more that 8500. I am not sure if this is reproducable, so this is just fyi. Now I see another strange thing: After reboot, I typed "zypper dup" again, to see if the "always update whole distribution" bug was gone. I got the following: rolf@linux:~> sudo zypper dup Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Computing distribution upgrade... The following packages are going to be upgraded: kde4-kupdateapplet-zypp yast2-samba-client The following product is going to be downgraded: openSUSE The following NEW package is going to be installed: openSUSE-release The following product is going to change architecture: openSUSE The following packages are going to change vendor: kde4-kupdateapplet-zypp yast2-samba-client The following product is going to change vendor: openSUSE Overall download size: 117.0 K.

After the operation, 296.0 K will be freed. Continue? [YES/no]: n Is this correct? Why does it first install some packages and in the next run remove them again?
