I do think of reinstalling a newer version of Tumbleweed from DVD. Does it matter that I had /var (on a separate partition) not formatted before last install ? (did not think that this would matter)
The installation did not format it? Was it empty before install?
If no to both questions, I would reinstall, this is not a predictable situation.
Note: having the entire /var as a separate partition and "/" is a btrfs partition, the feature to reboot to a previous "photo" of the system becomes unusable.
If you are using btrfs maybe you should consider adding just the exact /var subdirectory like /var/dababasewhaever.
I am using ext4, but if a full /var on a separate partition from a previous installation is a problem then I will reinstall now with version Tumbleweed from August 22nd on DVD, this time internet on.
There is no knowing what the files there will do. Unpredictable. You might instead use "rpm --verify" and delete files that are not listed in the rpm database. Long job. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
