I saw your thread on the forum. I see there that first you tried "zypper dup --no-allow-vendor-change". This is not recommended. But doing "zypper dup" which you did later is much worse! In the second case, with several active repos, you get a totum revolutum of packages. A package from one repo, a library from a conflicting repo... A "zypper dup" can only be done when there are only repos from the same vendor enabled (or taking some other complex measures which some people here do). This is avoided by adding the option "--no-allow-vendor-change", which is much safer. But still, unsafe. You must never do any kind of "zypper dup" on a stable release like leap. It is needed on rolling releases, like leap beta or tumbleweed. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
