No, you don't. You updated the db package (which is definitely part of the
base system) to 4.4 release but did _not_ increase the number thus causing
YaST to decide to destroy the installed system on upgrade.
But I repeat the question: Is there a _serious_ reason at all for not updating
the release number when the package is rebuilt?
