From 'man zypper':
--allow-downgrade, --no-allow-downgrade Whether to allow downgrading installed resolvables. To me '--no-allow-downgrade' means that a downgrade is NOT to be considered an option But when I issue the following: zypper dup --no-allow-downgrade I get a couple of dozen 'problems' like: Problem: problem with installed package libply-boot-client5-0.9.5+git20200418+14e91cc-1.1.x86_64 with a list of possible solutions: Solution 1: downgrade of libply-boot-client5-0.9.5+git20200418+14e91cc-1.1.x86_64 to libply-boot-client5-0.9.5+git20190908+3abfab2-4.1.x86_64 Solution 2: keep obsolete libply-boot-client5-0.9.5+git20200418+14e91cc-1.1.x86_64 I'm a little confused... First of all how does a downgrade come up at all given the initial command switch? Seems to me that ignoring any repo package that requires a downgrade would be the zypper behavior. In the above case it would mean an automatic 'keeping' of the installed version. Second, how does a newer version become obsolete in favor of an older one? Which version is presently on the repo, was it backleveled to the 'downgrade' version??
