I guess "zypper lu" does not display what "zypper dup" will do.
zypper up updates your system, defined as a collection of packages from a certain vendor.
zypper dup CHANGES your system to a new state. It may downgrade, uninstall, remove, packages. The state is defined by the repository you dup against or repo priorities if you are not doing against a specific one.
Hmm, do we have a 'lu' equivalent for 'dup'?
People still don't get the difference. Debian has dist-upgrade and upgrade too IIRC. Me too. :-)
Changing 'to a new state' is not quite clear to me. If it would say, 'zypper dup -r openSUSE:11.3' can be used to go from e.g. 11.2 to 11.3 then it would be much clearer. cheers, JW- -- o \ Juergen Weigert paint it green! __/ _=======.=======_ <V> | jw@suse.de back to ascii! __/ _---|____________\/ \ | 0911 74053-508 __/ (____/ /\ (/) | _____________________________/ _/ \_ vim:set sw=2 wm=8 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) "You are trying to use packages from project 'openSUSE:11.3'.
