You might call this a question of principle: without rebooting, the newly installed systemd (or sysvinit) executable would never be run AFAIK.
Please have look at the systemctl man page, specially the "daemon-reexec" command.
Now I just did. What it doesn't explain is why, after "zypper up -t patch -t package" finishes installing the upgrade to systemd etc. and the bash prompt reappears, running "zypper ps" shows the systemd and systemd-journald executables with the mention "(deleted)". If the daemon had actually reexecuted itself (and not just done a long branch to its own entry point) the executable now being run ought to have been the upgraded one, not the old, deleted, one. So are you sure "systemctl daemon-reexec" is indeed executed as part of the "zypper up" run? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
