I hope you delay a day or two.

If not upgrade via "yast2 wagon" will not work for the11.3 lifetime
(ie. all 18 months).  At least for now it does not appear fixable via
online updates due to how wagon is used..

========= background

Are you familiar with

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=613820

Distribution upgrade from 11.2 => 11.3 via "yast2 wagon" is broken.
Last tested 12 hrs ago, but a proposed fix just went into a obs home
directory a few hours ago.

I won't be able to test that obs home rep for several hours, but anyone could.

My test process:
===
install a clean 11.2 machine
login KDE as user, start konsole, su to root:
zypper in yast2-wagon  (ie. get the one for 11.2)
Adjust repos as you would for zypper dup
yast2 wagon  (follow obvious steps and skip registration)

Have it blow up 30 minutes into upgrade.  Even yast software
management is broken.  (zypper dup should still work).
