Archie, sometimes you can skip a release like you are trying, but it is never supported via zypper dup.
Yep. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I did an upgrade today on my 12.2 laptop to 13.1 and it blew up all over the place. Rather than sort through the issues, I backed up data (actually did that before the ugprade) and then did a fresh installation on the root partition, preserving the home partition (but whacking the GNOME 3 configuration). Running pretty smoothly now, though I'm finding some of the software I had installed requires outdated libraries - ironically, mostly Novell or former Novell (now NetIQ) stuff (iManager and the Groupwise client in particular). In-place upgrades always - even with supported version upgrades - leave undesirable cruft on the system.
