Hello, I today upgraded openSUSE 13.1 to 13.2. I wonder why zypper dup is willing to install 77 new pacakges:
$ sudo LC_ALL=C LANG=C zypper dup Warning: You are about to do a distribution upgrade with all enabled repositories. Make sure these repositories are compatible before you continue. See 'man zypper' for more information about this command.
Well first of all why are you doing a "dup" rather than an "up"
What do you get, by comparison, if you run with "up" rather than 'dup"
I've NEVER had the need to do a "dup" except when *preparing* for an online upgrade from one level of the OS to the next, and you are not making clear if that's what you are doing. I get the *impression* from the repositories you list you are doing this AFTER the upgrade.
Further to that, or "this summarises it nicely" https://wgserv.eu/wordpress/?p=243 One thing I do wonder about, though. The "dup" upgrades, downgrades or removes wrt a repository. Now if you don't do that with a "--from" and if you do that with additional repositories which duplicate items in the core repositories I can see a problem. If this is processed sequentially and you have core in N and an external (home:something or packman or whatever) in slot N+M (for M>1) then first the "dup" will sync to the core, which is what you want when you are doing a real upgrade, then to similarly named files in the additional repository, Or it might be the other way round. One way you are going to have the less capable version you mention installed. As I've said, once I install a specific package from a specific repository the updates to that package seem to come from there. There is no need to use "dup". The more I think about this more I come to conclude that the reasons people are stating for using "dup" and altering priorities either don't do quite what they say that want to achieve or have unwanted side effects. -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
