I just verified on two distinct installations that zypper dup from 11.3 to 11.4 will fail and break the package system by removing liblzma. This might be a major pita when 11.4 is announced and the average guy does an upgrade.
OK, that bug should have a work around now. If someone could verify (anyone still having 11.3? :) it would be fantastic.
The workaround in http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Most_annoying_bugs_11.4 is good. If one does 'zypper up rpm' _before_ zypper dup, then it is OK. That works from 11.3, 11.4 RC1 and 11.4 RC2. To publicize the problem/workaround as much as possible, it was posted in the opensuse.org.help.prerelease-beta forum, reposted in o.o.h.install-boot-login, and added to http://tinyurl.com/64vyovj, the Preinstallation FAQ. How soon can the fix be put into the FTP upgrade sites? Once that is done, the bug will no longer affect the people doing on-line upgrades, which should cover the bulk of users. I, for one, never upgrade from the DVD. Larry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
