I'm prepping a fallback Leap 42.2 system to substitute for my daily workhorse during it's 'vacation' in the shop for a warranty repair. . I thought this process was going to be relatively straightforward, but I keep running into an astonishing number of inconsistencies like the examples excerpted below. (I have triple checked and both systems are definitely configured to use the same repositories):
< abiword-3.0.1-1.14.x86_64 < abiword-docs-3.0.1-1.1.noarch ---
abiword-3.0.1-54.3.x86_64 abiword-docs-3.0.1-31.2.noarch
< dia-0.97.3-65.2.x86_64 < dia-lang-0.97.3-65.2.noarch ---
dia-0.97.3-3.35.x86_64 dia-lang-0.97.3-3.35.noarch ... 'zypper if epson-inkjet-printer-escpr' yields the following on one machine: ... Repository : @System . IIRC, the installed version not available from a currently enabled repo. . Name : epson-inkjet-printer-escpr Version : 1.6.13-1lsb3.2 ... Name : epson-inkjet-printer-escpr Version : 1.6.4-1lsb3.2 ... Also, these inconsistencies aside (presuming this issue is going to be solved,) does anyone have a proven fast and reliable way to replicate an installed system on a parallel box without transplanting or imaging drives or attempting something like rsync? These systems are not much like each other from a hardware perspective, but I need the software that's installed on them to be the same. . Yast2 sw_single [import|export] should make do what you want. Did you try? . All constructive comments and ideas will be appreciated and are welcome!
Your currently installed packages do not all match what's currently available from your configured repos. Are either of these two installations updates from a previous release rather than originally 42.2 installs? If yes, installed packages could easily be higher version numbers even though older packages surviving the upgrade process. Using zypper in with --from &/or --oldpackage, or zypper dup, should be able to get one matched with the other, if repos truly match.
