I've just learned over lunch that calling "zypper dup" is wrong if you have
both buildservice repositories and a distribution repository enabled. 

apparently one has to call it with -r <name>, where <name> points to the
distribution one wants to upgrade to, and the other repositories (e.g.
buildservice addons) must not be dup'ed, but only updated via update -t
package. I've verified that this indeed fixes the "reinstalling/downgrading
package" issues everyone seems to be complaining about. 

It would be nice if zypp/zypper could detect this situation and advise the
user, or alternatively do the right thing automatically. 

I'm not sure if channels of distributions (e.g. the factory channel, or a
future openSUSE 11.0 channel) can be detected in some way.. if it does, then it
could automatically add the -r argument if there is only one distribution
channel enabled, and altneratively error out if more than one distribution
channel is in the sources list and no -r argument was given.
