Hmm, the all the documentation I found mentioned the above option.
I did a test when I wrote that. If upgrading from 11.3 to 11.4 with a simple zypper dup, then you need the --download "in-advance" option to get the behavior you want. If you do: zypper in zypper zypper dup then you don't need the option. ie. zypper as included in 11.4 and newer defaults to that option.
Separately you are missing zypper in zypper. That used to be recommended as the first step after zypper refresh. Maybe it is not needed anymore?
I've upgraded multiple hosts without it. And on my last 11.4 host, which I upgraded last night, I tried the "zypper in zypper" and it failed with unresolved dependencies [that host has no third-party repositories - just the core repos]. But "zypper dup" worked perfectly in performing the upgrade.
Strange I did 3 11.3 => 11.4 migrations in the last month. I did all with zypper in zypper; zypper dup.
