There's no problem with using dup, you just need to keep the above in mind. After all, there's always the 'Continue?' prompt :O)
The downgrading activity of dup sounds familiar. I have a new xorg radeonhd driver installed (the one that comes with 11.2 crashes when there are 3D effects in KDE). When I use dup, it wants to downgrade that driver. Good to know update will not do this.
It seems there is a third zypper flavour that would be interesting:
Note that the third is 'zypper patch' that will just follow the official updates via zypp patches. But that works only with repositories containing such patches (currently only the official updates i guess).
update that will change architecture (like docs moving into noarch) or update vendors, without having to list every single one in some file.
I bet someone will say, RTFM any you will see option -x. But zypper has so many options, and the man page descriptions are sometimes too generic to get a real feel for what they mean. If there is such an option, I have missed it.
