I'm following the instructions in SDB:System upgrade, using the zypper method. I've performed the preliminary "Make sure you are up to date" steps successfully, but I'm having problems with the actual update step. Even though I have removed the Packman, Wine and Font repositories from my repository configuration, I'm getting errors relating to components that were installed from those repositories:
Certainly. Every repo that you remove will cause problems with packages that were installed from those repos. Thus, for instance, I would never remove packman. Bad idea.
Remove only the repositories that you actually want their packages to be switched to the mainline version.

Don't use "--releasever" with this command, might restrict the information.

Do you really need the debug repos on?
Should I not? Perhaps I misunderstand the purpose of the *-debug components? They're for collecting debugging info for bug reports, yes?
Yes, exactly. On dumps, traceback tools, etc.

Do you really need the source repos on?
For building packages from tarballs.
Ah, ok so you do that, thus you need them. :-)
It is not "typical".
I find that there are many packages in the OpenSuSE repositories that are unusably old, so I must compile from source to get current versions. Leslie --
