I upgraded a machine yesterday via "zypper dup" from 12.2 -> 13.1.
Several things went wrong.
Instead of creating a bunch of bugs in bugzilla (which I don't have time for anyway) and having half of them be irrelevant, already fixed, etc. I thought I'd run these issues by the mailing list first in case anyone wants to step up to investigate.
Archie, sometimes you can skip a release like you are trying, but it is never supported via zypper dup. The only supported method via zypper is to update 12.2 => 12.3; zypper patch; 12.3 => 13.1 I think it is supported to go straight from 12.2 => 13.1 if you use the DVD, but I'm not sure. In fact, if you have BtrFS for the system drive, I'm sure that too will fail. An example: == Problem #2: The upgrade hung during "Installing rtkit-0.11_git201205151338-5.2.1" The stuck process was: dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus / org.freedesktop.DBus.ReloadConfig > /dev/null 2>&1 I had to kill -9 this process in order to get zypper running again. == Known bug. The solution was released as a 12.3 patch. Since you were upgrading without that patch installed, you got bit.
