As you are posting on the standard opensuse mail list, I assume that you are using one of the standard or stable releases - not tumbleweed.
And "zypper dup" should not be used on the stable releases, only on tumbleweed.
I saw his reply on the web archive, not on email. The list server has huge delays. He just said:
Thanks for responding,
The systems I'm concerned with are currently on 13.1.
This says single release upgrades are supported: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade

Ok, so you are not doing updates, but Upgrading from 13.1 to 13.2. This is very important and changes completely the issue. Yes, this is the exception, you have to use "zypper dup". The best procedure I know of is to disable all existing repos, leaving only the official ones, the two for oss and non-oss of the next release, 13.2 in this case, and run "zypper dup". Better do a download only run, then the real one, preferably in text mode. After rebooting, you add the two official online update repos, the ones for oss and non-oss, and run zypper patch (this step can be merged with the previous one, but I prefer not to). Then reboot again. Finally, activate all the extra repos you need, and switch the packages you want to those versions. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
