Running Leap 42.2 on my pi and out of curiosity I ran zypper dup to see what would show up. It looks like it wants to install a bunch of graphical applications and I'm not sure why, could someone explain this to me?
This is a minimal install from the JeOS image. I pasted the output on susepaste here: http://susepaste.org/16775081

zypper dup is for a distribution upgrade (that is, say from openSUSE 42.1 to 42.2, or 42.2 to 42.3). The only exception is Tumbleweed, since it is a rolling release, each release is effectively a "distribution upgrade", in a way, so zypper dup is used for updating Tumbleweed. If you do a zypper dup, it will want to switch all packages back to the main repos when there is a higher version number, among other things, and it can also give you unexpected results if you have other repos enabled. Your only use of zypper dup, in Leap, would be if the system is messed up and you want to return it to a closer state to the original install. But, then, your best bet would be to use the install DVD and choose and "Upgrade". Hope that explains it sufficiently for you. -- -Gerry Makaro aka Fraser_Bell on the forums, IRC, and mail at openSUSE.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
