One has to run the 'distribution upgrade' procedure for this. YaST provided the latter in an extra module, however this module was removed since it caused some confusion. For future products, the difference between 'update' and 'dist-upgrade' will be made explicit and both modes will be supported by the software management tools. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
