Last zypper dup on this 64 bit system belonging to Bob Stia was less than a week ago. None of my own systems have anything 64 bit. Today I tried again, after 'zypper dup -r KDE49'. Now it wants to downgrade 23 packages including Firefox and SeaMonkey, and install 68 new packages, most of which are lib*32bit. There are only 5 to upgrade, 4 of which are qt3/kde3. Should I try again some other time? Something else?
That sounds like you should try again later - probably some packages were not built for x86_64 yet.
If you want to upgrade _now_, use zypper up instead of dup. This will update less packages, but avoids the arch change.
I waited a few hours and did zypper up. Only the 5 packages were upgraded, nothing else affected.
That's a general answer for everybody running "zypper dup".
I don't sense that's a sensible answer on this mailing list. On any release-next prior to version freeze, I expect only dup to do what's needed, so I'm in the habit of using dup for the duration of any release-next. What might I be misunderstanding about the difference between dup and up?
The only thing I can say about the KDE 4.9 repo is that is has lots of packages that are still building or scheduled for build, which means: wait ;-) (It might take some time, the OBS monitor says there are about 10000 packages for each arch in the queue.)
On Bob's system I needed 4.9 due to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305161 which unfortunately doesn't go far enough. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
