Hi all,
One of the friends I support with oS has accidentally added the standard 13.1 repository to his 12.3 system. I think he inadvertently chose a 13.1 version of a package to install via the "one-click" method and that added the repo.
While the system is basically usable (for web browsing etc) the 2d and 3d art software he uses has some problems. I have changed the nvidia repo to the 13.1 version which has sorted out most of the problems, however some remain (he is getting poor performance and occasional out of memory errors.) We were intending to upgrade to 13.1 in January anyway, so if I simply change the remaining repos to their 13.1 versions and perform a zypper dup (or yast equivalent...) should I expect to end
up with a 'properly' updated system? Or would it be better, given that a half-upgrade has already happened, to start from scratch?
I think zipper dup is the solution, but it can also be used to downgrade. Just put all the repos back to 12.3 versions and run zipper dup. All the 13.1 rpms you have will be reverted to the 12.3 versions. Or as you say, go ahead and move everything to 13.1
Also, should I consider it a bug that "one click install" allowed a repo from a different version to be added (did he blithely confirm a version
change without the necessary thought)?
I don't think zypper really knows what oS release you are running, so it has no way to know that a mistake was made.
Cheers Dylan
