Personally I consider using "zypper dup -r single-repository" as a "poor man's vendor switching" to be a very bad idea. "zypper dup" was simply not designed for it.

Thanks Andrei, I'll chock it up to lessons-learned and find a better way to do a single repo dup. Here there were only 7 packages, so the copy and local install was a simple work around... But, I'll be back in the same boat when the openSUSE NVidia repo is finally updated and I need to switch packages back to that repo. What is the best way to do a single-repo dup in that case? Worst-case, I can just download the packages... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
