AFAICS the code path taken here is the second fallback: The installation medium did not contain multiple repos, and not even one single repo, so it had to resort to checking the control file (control.xml) to check if that one would contain any base product; but that failed as well.
https://github.com/yast/yast-packager/blob/SLE-15-SP5/src/lib/y2packager/ product_spec_reader.rb#L41-L47
if InstallationMedium.contain_multi_repos? products_from_multi_repos elsif InstallationMedium.contain_repo? products_from_libzypp else products_from_control end
https://github.com/yast/yast-packager/blob/SLE-15-SP5/src/lib/y2packager/ product_spec_reader.rb#L53-L55
def products_from_control control_products = Y2Packager::ProductSpecReaders::Control.new.products raise "The control file does not define any base product!" if control_products.empty?
So, what medium did you use? A minimalistic NET medium without any repos at all? And that possibly in combination with your network setup having problems with your static IP setup, as you mentioned?
According to my browser history, I downloaded this: https://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.5/iso/openSUSE-Leap-15.5-... I downloaded the checksum and verified it. I then burned it to a DVD and booted from that. I selected "upgrade," and it didn't work. The upgrade DVD didn't detect my static IP configuration. That's fine; I was able to continue using a temporary DHCP address. I don't think that's related to the problem. But the upgrade itself failed. The "next" button does nothing at all. It just freezes there. I'm willing to poke around to try to give you more information than just the error logs, but I'll need something more explicit about what you need. (And how to get it.) The system was originally installed (from scratch) with OpenSUSE Leap 15.4. The packages have been updated consistently, but this is the first time I've tried upgrading to a new release. I can't really reinstall it, as it's a pretty important system. If you can wait a few years, I can probably build a new system to try out something different. Otherwise, I'm either marooned on 15.4 or I'm going to have to try the (apparently riskier) live upgrade mechanism. I was hoping that DVD-based upgrade would be more robust. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
