I followed the discussion on factory (linked to in my first message) which ended with Jeff Mahoney saying the generic problem needed a kernel and userspace update deployable via zypper patch. Thus even if the ImageMagick RPM was fixed not to trigger the max hardlinks issue, the issue still potentially exists for other packages. I'm not aware of an automated test update that installs all potential 12.3 packages prior to attempting a zypper dup. I suspect Jeff M is the best one to answer if a note in the release notes is warranted or not. -- 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.

Like "if you are using btrfs make sure to x, y, z before running zypper dup?" -- 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.

Thus unless it too gets backported to 12.2, I don't see the point in backporting this fix. Just explicitly say that zypper dup upgrades from releases prior to 12,3 are known to be problematic and are not recommended. -- 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.
