If you update to a new Leap version (e.g. 15.2 -> 15.3), you need to use "zypper dup". That's well documented. Even then, the -extra and -optional packages will only be installed if you install recommended packages (which is the default).
Absolutely, it is crucial to use "zypper dup" when upgrading from one distribution to the next (or in Tumbleweed). Using "zypper up" for this job causes problems. And having recommends disabled can bite you sometimes. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)
