Well, Factory, now Tumbleweed, is the other scenario in which you should use "zypper dup" for regular updates, not "zypper up".
Hm, in the good old times[tm], this was written down on <https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed>. But now, this hint has disappeared.
On <https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tumbleweed_installation>, you find "zypper dup" only for the upgrade to TW. There is no recommendation whether to run "zypper dup" or "zypper up" now.
But try it with:
export SOLVER_FLAG_DUP_ALLOW_VENDORCHANGE=0
or set the value "solver.allowVendorChange = true" in file /etc/zypp/zypp.conf.
My take! For any distrobution, Tumbleweed, 13.1, 13.2, Facotry, ... If you employe other than standard basic repos, use dup, locks and priorities if necessary and always check before committing to any change. If you employe *only* standard basic repos, use up or patch (and locks and priorities as necessary to suit). To {up,down}grade version or ..., use dup. And I always download before committing. You *can* use up for Tumbleweed, but some attention to detail is required as is the case in all instances of using software. If you cannot take the time to "pay attention to detail", you should have someone else maintain your system! Some *thought* is *required*(Tm!). Note: use of "up" and ALLOW_VENDORCHANGE becomes very close to "dup". -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
