zypper is in the list of upgraded packages.  When I pulled that from
11.2 repos, it took 30 full minutes to pull.  And I was using a very
lightly loaded T-1 to do the upgrade.

It is not the end of the world, but it is also not very smooth.

Of course, I'm now running zypper dup, and that is 4 hrs in and still running.
