A zypper up is _ALWAYS_ wrong on Tumbleweed

Damn, I forgot there was more than one of you ;)
An zypper up on Tumbleweed is NEVER correct.
Obviously, I have to disagree here, too.
without additional arguments, you might have a point. But I use it often like
zypper -v up --no-recommends -r 23 zypper -v up --no-recommends "texlive*" ... without issues.
Doesn't matter if you make it work 'without issues'. It's not how Tumbleweed is designed to be used. It's not how it's ever going to be tested to be used. anyone reporting issues found while doing things that way will not find many willing fools to support them, and they should be advised the correct way of updating their Tumbleweed machine. Maybe we should implement Bernhard's suggestion just to kill off any chance this invalid use continues, you're making it obvious the error message isn't effective, and that's a bug that needs to be fixed.
