Hi!
I did a zypper dup last night on a post beta2 factory installation.

> 900M should be downloaded, updated, reinstalled.

With every new package I got multiple rpmdb2solv zombie processes in "ps xa". 
Close to the end of the dup process, it were more that 8500.

I am not sure if this is reproducable, so this is just fyi.

Now I see another strange thing:

After reboot, I typed "zypper dup" again, to see if the "always update whole 
distribution" bug was gone. 

I got the following:

rolf@linux:~> sudo zypper dup

Reading installed packages...
Computing distribution upgrade...

The following packages are going to be upgraded:

And now the same thing again:
rolf@linux:~> sudo zypper dup

Continue? [YES/no]: n


Is this correct? Why does it first install some packages and in the next 
run remove them again?

Confused,
Rolf
