Right. Just one thing from the top of my head:

  mike@lion:~> rpm -qa --queryformat '%{VERSION}\n' | egrep
'^42\.[12](\..*)?$' | wc -l
  23

I'm pretty sure there will be others, more subtle and harder to work
around (IIRC "zypper dup" is quite happy to downgrade a package if the
installed version is no longer available in any active repository).
