Would you please make the "zypper dup" instruction more explicit by including its argument?
There is no further argument, dup is the argument to zypper!
ahem, i disagree. i almost always limit zypper dup with the "r" or "--from" argument. i think it's the only way to make sure zypper understands exactly what i want it to do. otherwise, with more than the standard repos enabled, you might get surprising results.
Not to argue, but I think the argument of a function is the part that is
the object of the function, i.e., in terms of Linux commands, the part
that comes AFTER the switches and options.
But I think my question was superflous. After studying the thread more
carefully through my bleary eyes, I see that the command was given as:
zypper dup -r
