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:
gaf@tiger3-64bit:~> sudo zypper in zypper ... Overall download size: 172.8 M. After the operation, additional 53.4 M will be used. Continue? [Y/n/p/?]:
=============== Is that all right?
Maybe it is, but it's a lot of packages. I would at least be suspicious and tried to enter 'p' here (which is basically the same as 'n' and then 'zypper in --no-force-resolution zypper') to find out what triggered installation of those many packages. -- cheers, jano Ján Kupec YaST team ---------------------------------------------------------(PGP)--- Key ID: 637EE901 Fingerprint: 93B9 C79B 2D20 51C3 800B E09B 8048 46A6 637E E901 ---------------------------------------------------------(IRC)--- Server: irc.freenode.net Nick: jniq Channels: #zypp #yast #suse #susecz ---------------------------------------------------------(EOF)---
