1) Reverting from G:S:2.28 to update repo and ran a zypper dup
Sigh...
A "dup" is intended to update from a version of the distro to the next. Otherwise it can break things. It will upgrade or downgrade everything to mimic the repo state.
In other words, you should do a zypper up, not a zypper dup. Also, be sure the repo you use is the same one you used originally.
So what about this: http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/2.26
If the operation I ran is dangerous, why openSUSE put such instructions to be publicly usable?
I have no idea. If the only repo you have is oss, nonoss, update, and the gnome repo, a dup might work. Might. Otherwise, dunno. The page recomends using "YaST or zypper to upgrade to the latest version", but YaST behaves quite different, it doesn't do a full dup. What I know for sure is that a dup, unless really indicated, is dangerous. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
