All,
After 15.4 was official, I went with a zypper up for updates today and was presented with:
The following 31 package updates will NOT be installed: desktop-data-openSUSE icewm icewm-default icewm-lang icewm-theme-branding keepassxc keepassxc-lang libKF5Cddb5 libKF5Kipi32_0_0 libKF5MediaWiki5 libavcodec57 libavformat57 libavutil55 libkcddb libkcddb-lang libpostproc54 libpython2_7-1_0 libswresample2 libvlc5 libvlccore9 patterns-devel-python-devel_python3 pdftk python-rpm-generators python-rpm-macros python3-dbus-python vlc vlc-codec-gstreamer vlc-lang vlc-noX vlc-qt vlc-vdpau
(there were 16 packages to update)
Trying, I gave another "zypper dup" and it omitted the "updates will NOT be installed:" list, but provided the same 16 packages to update.
Why the "updates will NOT be installed:" list with "zypper up" and not with "zypper dup"? Will the "updates will NOT be installed:" just get bigger and bigger with time?
Those packages come from different repository (strictly speaking, vendor) with higher version number. Neither "zypper up" nor "zypper dup" switch vendor by default. "zypper (d)up --allow-vendor-change" would replace them.
