Okay, I decided to try out the <http://en.opensuse.org/Upgrade/11.2> process via zypper. (I had been testing wagon, because I assumed others were testing zyperr.) Remember upgrade via zypper dup and wagon are both now supported. This is not at all what I expected. I first updated my repos as requested in: <http://en.opensuse.org/Upgrade/11.2#CLI> I then disabled the old repos and added the 11.2 repos. (See detail 1 below my sig for exactly how my repos were setup.) I then tried the last of the preparation steps: zypper refresh # Refresh the local metadata and repo contents zypper in zypper # Pull in zypper from the 11.2 repository It is the results of zypper in zypper that I find very unexpected. At a minimum the Upgrade page needs to warn users to expect this extreme behavior is what is expected. See below: =========== Several pages of example output
sudo zypper refresh Repository 'openSUSE 11.2 Non-OSS' is up to date. Repository 'openSUSE 11.2 Oss' is up to date. Repository 'openSUSE 11.2 Updates' is up to date. All repositories have been refreshed.
