One reasoning is that the zypper/rpm in the old stack may not be fully compatible with the one in the new release. When this happens, the previous release gets patched to be compatible, but not the one one two or more releases older.
However, an offline update (boot dvd, choose upgrade) has many more chances of success.
OK Thanks everyone. It's good advice. We went via 13.1. It's not that much longer anyway. We thought upgrades would take a lot longer.
** offline update?? How would that get us the new stuff? We don't have dvd anyway:( You can also create a bootable flash drive with the full DVD's ISO on it. That is relatively cheap and not too hard to do.

The nearest we can get on a search is this: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/13.2/iso/ Which is it? But they are dated October 2014. That's not going to get us up to date, is it? Maybe we are not asking correctly. How do we define upgrade and update here? Is this _instead_ of doing the 13.1 intermediate step? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
