I personally usually only apply upgrade updates to things like databases if and only if it solves a current issue with the version being run that is actually causing a problem.

And of course you always test updates before applying them to production systems; therefore you never get caught by such things. Because that is that is sound administrative practices, applying updates directly to production systems is *not* (unfortunately apt/yum/zypper have poisoned allot of people's practices). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
