You should rather do "update unconditionally". It is equivalent to zypper dup.
No, that would update all packages in my system even if they do not actually have an update, IIRC. That only causes useless downloads and wasted time.
Good point, I forgot.
There are more chances of yast crashing than zypper crashing.
Sure, but it's very very rare that it doesn't run through without issue, esp. on TW - actually, I can't remember having any issue at all since TW started (I sometimes did with Factory). On Leap, I do zypper dup for a new version and the YaST variant(s) for in between and I never had an issue there with that.
I have. Whole desktop crash during upgrades. I run zypper in a text mode console for that reason. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
