I never run "dup" on any system, except factory. Or when going from, say, 11.1 
to 11.2. It is
designed for that situation.

"up" is safe, normally.

An alternative is "zypper patch", which is similar to what "you" does:

       patch [options]
              Install all available needed patches.

              If there are patches that affect the package management itself, 
those will
              be installed first and you will be asked to run the patch command 
again.

              This command is similar to 'zypper update -t patch'.

It is even safer.
