No.
You said
zypper dup to sypper up
(Supper? Slipper?)
What you are seeing is the difference between "dup" and "up"
The man page says
update (up) [options] [packagename] ... Update installed packages with newer versions, where possible.
This command will not update packages which would require change of package vendor unless the vendoris specified in /etc/zypp/vendors.d, or which would require manual resolution of problems with dependencies. Such non-installable updates will then be listed in separate section of the summary as "The following package updates will NOT be installed:".
and
dist-upgrade (dup) [options] Perform a distribution upgrade. This command applies the state of (specified) repositories onto the system; upgrades (or even downgrades) installed packages to versions found in repositories, removes packages that are no longer in the repositories and pose a dependency problem for the upgrade, handles package splits and renames, etc.
Indeed. I have a laptop that I have been using 'up' on. I get similar things not being installed (especially NetworkManager, gstreamer stuff, and the python numpy stuff). If I do a 'dup' it wants to revert many things to older versions to be able to install these things 'up' won't install. I suspect there is some issue with versions of packages in some combinations of repos. In fact, it wants to revert so many things that I have not done the 'dup'.
