I have discovered that the repositories that YaST is using are still pointing at the 42.3 versions, so I suspect I now have a mixed bag of software from both the 42.3 and the 15.0 repos. Doing another zypper dup simply tells me there is nothing to update however...
That's because of the inane choice of release versions, from 13.x to 42.x to 15.x. There is nothing to update according to the package management system when there are bigger version numbers in 42.3 repos than those in 15.0 repos, which is many if not most.
Nonsense. I have no idea where you get this. Next you tell me that upgrading from 13.2 -> 42.1 was not possible due to inane choice of missing numbers in the version sequence.
On some operation zypper (I do not remember which) was complaining that the target version was lower. I took no notes or photos, but it was obviously due to the release number drop. Something else must have happened, no idea.
See here: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_for_Leap , the bit about RPM Distro Version Macros how it works. As you will see the 42.x series have a lower suse_version than 15.x get. That distinguishes 15.0 as a higher version that 42.3 . -- Gertjan Lettink a.k.a.
