Before starting the "upgrade", I removed all optional repos, then did zypper dup. When done there remained 13 'System Packages', which I removed manually before rebooting into the upgrade process via Grub. http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/SUSE/131/offline13132to13164upgrade-gx151.txt lists installed packages state on completion of offline upgrade. Summary: i586 packages 821 i686 packages 6 x86_64 packages 80 noarch packages 642 Upgrading did not change /etc/os-release from i586 to x86_64. In fact, openSUSE-release currently installed is among the i586, though openSUSE-release-ftp is x86_64. I've gotten the i586 count down to around 700 by installing a few packages with zypper that caused arch changes, and some others by feeding zypper the entire filename of selected packages. Is there some simple way to get zypper or yast to replace the balance of i586/i686 with x86_64? I see in zypper man page maybe capability might apply, but if so, there's no example there I can grok. Would it be enough to use zypper dup after upgrading openSUSE-release to x86_64? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
