Hi,
...am I the only one who uses zypper repo priorities to get more control over what gets installed from where?
Many do :-)
I have some systems here that have been "zypper dup'ed" all the way from Leap 42.x to 15.2 and no problems... and yes I AM using additional repos - in some cases 20 or more.
I assume you mean you used "zypper dup" on Leap (not TW) to upgrade from one version to another. Yes, that's the intended usage, but using multiple repos was not covered properly since "recently". Recently as in a few years, can't say exactly when. Probably was worked on about the 42 times. I hope, though, that for the regular updates of Leap, within the same version, you did not use "dup". However, the OP was not using Leap, but Tumbleweed, and in TW using "zypper up" eventually breaks the system; Andrei says that the modern command warns about it. When to use "dup" or "up" doesn't seem to be clearly documented and some people don't know about it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from oS Leap 15.2 x86_64 (Minas Tirith))
