What is a preference running 'zypper dup' instead of 'zypper up' [in your case]?
hmm, the OP talked about Tumbleweed, didn't he? Instructions for upgrading can be found here:
I got your shot:
There are two tasks needed in order to upgrade from any release to Tumbleweed:
Not the case. The OP talked about "latest 'zypper dup' " Let me quote 'zypper 8 man' update (up) [options] [packagename]... Update installed packages with newer versions, where possible. This command will not update packages which would require change of package vendor unless the vendor is specified in /etc/zypp/vendors.d, or which would require manual resolution of problems with dependencies. Such non-installable updates will then be listed in separate section of the summary as "The following package updates will NOT be installed:". dist-upgrade (dup) [options] Perform a distribution upgrade. This command applies the state of (specified) repositories onto the system; upgrades (or even downgrades) installed packages to versions found in repositories, removes packages that are no longer in the repositories and pose a dependency problem for the upgrade, handles package splits and renames, etc. If no repositories are specified via the --from option, zypper will do the upgrade with all defined repositories. This can be a problem if the system contains conflicting repositories, like repositories for two different distribution releases. This often happens if one forgets to remove an older release repository after adding a new one, say openSUSE 13.1 and openSUSE 13.2. -- WBR Kyrill
