Did you remember to handle all the .rpmold/rpmorig/rpmnew config files?
Never even heard of those. I just did the install, making my selections as usual.
Ok, because this is not an upgrade.
You'll have to help me out here, because I only do upgrades since about ver. 10x or so, and I have never encountered any need to "handle" any .rmold, etc files.
Well, you must.
You have to run "rpmconfigcheck2; example:
Laicolasse:~ # rpmconfigcheck Searching for unresolved configuration files Please check the following files (see /var/adm/rpmconfigcheck): /etc/apparmor.d/zgrep.rpmnew /etc/postfix/main.cf.rpmnew /etc/postfix/master.cf.rpmnew /etc/tlp.conf.rpmnew Laicolasse:~ #
You then have to compare those files with the active file, and decide what changed options to change, what old options to keep.
For the love of God, Carlos, do you not think that the people who write the upgrade software know how to do that, so the user does not have to worry about it? I normally perform upgrades from the USB stick, but on one occasion (I believe it was the 15.1 to 15.2 upgrade), I did it with zypper dup -- no, I never needed to run rpmconfigcheck then either. Just follow the instructions per the os website: zypper ref zypper up zypper --releasever=15.5 refresh zypper --releasever=15.5 dup and reboot. Of course, I've never made any changes to things like postfix config files, so I don't need to check any of them for changes. If you have done so, presumably you remember which files you have changed in the past, and likely wish to keep the changes. You then should only need to find the config files which were changed in the upgrade, and copy the *.rpmold files onto the new ones, should you not? Then there would be no need to run rpmconfigcheck. Of course, maybe you don't remember which changes you made to all the possible files that may be reset during an upgrade, and also did not bother to keep a list somewhere whenever you did change something. In that case, I suppose it is necessary (essential, even) to discover anew just which changes you did make in the past. Whatever turns your crank, I suppose...
