I upgraded a machine yesterday via "zypper dup" from 12.2 -> 13.1. Several things went wrong. Instead of creating a bunch of bugs in bugzilla (which I don't have time for anyway) and having half of them be irrelevant, already fixed, etc. I thought I'd run these issues by the mailing list first in case anyone wants to step up to investigate. An edited log of the upgrade is here: http://pastebin.com/YYr9gGT7 Note, "Installing" lines are only shown for those RPMs that spit out errors. Problems are listed in order of severity most to least... Problem #1: After the upgrade, /boot/grub/menu.lst was empty (contained zero choices). In other words, zypper left my system in an unbootable state. I have no idea why this happened. Fortunately I had a backup which I edited to match the new kernel and installed before rebooting. Problem #2: The upgrade hung during "Installing rtkit-0.11_git201205151338-5.2.1" The stuck process was: dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus / org.freedesktop.DBus.ReloadConfig > /dev/null 2>&1 I had to kill -9 this process in order to get zypper running again. Problem #3: Several mkinitrd's failed due to "plymouth: symbol lookup error: plymouth: undefined symbol: ply_logger_is_tracing_enabled" Several RPMs run the mkinitrd stuff in %post. At first these worked, then they started failing with the above error, and then later they started working again once plymouth had been installed. Perhaps there is a missing Requires(post): dependency? Problem #4: Multiple errors of the form "/etc/init.d/foo: No such file or directory" For example: Installing: at-3.1.13-5.4.1 .... /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.DPrmiC: line 8: /etc/init.d/atd: No such file or directory Problem #5: Lots and lots of other random errors in various %post scripts.
