I'm working on an Opensuse 13.2, getting next-gen KDE (plasma5 + KF5 + etc) up & running.
After installing/upgrading the needed changes, zypper tells me
zypper dup ... Nothing to do.
Don't use zypper dup on a stable release, period.
Carlos, why not? Only just yesterday I upgraded a 13.1 to 13.2 using zypper dup, it works very well.
You used it for what it was made for. From the zypper man page: dist-upgrade (dup) [options] Perform a distribution upgrade. This command applies the state of (specified) repositories onto the system; upgrades (or even downgrades) installed packages to versions found in repositories, removes packages that are no longer in the repositories and pose a dependency problem for the upgrade, handles package splits and renames, etc. That's not the same thing as what Robert was apparently trying to do. Dist-upgrade, without any switches, means openSUSE (e.g. 13.2 to TW or 13.1 to 13.2), not KDE4 to KDE5. He should have used dup with the -r switch for whatever the KDE5 BS repo is to get the newer Plasma, but then gone back to using only up or patch unless on some other BS repo or switching to TW. On most of my own installations I've locked breeze* and kde-oxygen-fonts in order to prevent escape from KDE4. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
