If I search http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade for zypper in zypper or zypper up zypper I do not find anything. So if that is the official way of doing things, the SDB article should be kept up-to-date.
It's a wiki and everyone can change it (and does it). I do not believe in wikis, though.
I remember that it was part of the article (or its predecessor) yet since it was removed I thought there was a reason for it.
It's in the history: 14:25, 15 July 2010 Dominian (Talk | contribs) (6,054 bytes) (Removed 'zypper in zypper' as this was causing issues on systems noted in #suse on freenode) And oviously blessed by Hennevogel. I do not know whether they talked to the developers (I did several months ago); maybe, things changed in the meantime--but then it would have been nice to report the changes to the docs team and create an entry for the release notes...
For me a simple zypper dup worked. Without any conflicts and without any zypper in zypper or zypper up zypper. I might just have been lucky though.
It works most of the time, but it could fail at any time. -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
