You are not using the official kernel for Leap 15.5.

oh. how could I miss this. thought since zypper dup I were using the official kernel. But did zypper dup with all repositories (at least those available for the new distribution) enabled....
I tried to clean some things up (install glibc to official repo) and install of libzstd just failed (first thing yast sw_single tried to reinstall). I now have a completely broken system. nearly every command fails "/lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by /usr/lib64/libzstd.so.1)".
i'll never do such zypper dup with all repos again...
what do you suggest? boot to a snapshot? use the installer using netboot?
The big problem is not using dup, but what repos you have enabled.
You can revert the situation with a zypper dup, but first disabling the repos that caused the problem.
Boot to a snapshot, well, yes, if you can find a correct snapshot.
Boot the 15.5 DVD and forcing an upgrade to it, might work, too.
can I fix the system from a readonly snapshot boot? otherwise: I tend to try to Install 15.6 - but cannot use a physical medium. I last installed 15.1 using that method for complete remote headless installations. downloaded the initrd and linux files from download.opensuse.org for 15.6 and edited /srv/tftp/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default on my main server the relevant part looks like this: --- serial 0 115200 default install64 prompt 1 timeout 30 #Install x86_64 Linux label install64 menu label Install x86_64 Linux kernel setup_linux append initrd=setup_initrd nosplash textonly showopts install=https://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.6/repo/oss/ loghost=172.18.0.1 proxy=http://172.18.0.1:3128 startshell=1 WaitReboot=1 nomodeset --- I currently want to avoid any mistakes. This is currently the only working PC with a monitor for me (and gladly I had a ssh session on another server when this dilemma occured.) If boot fails I need to use ssh on my cell phone... Thank you for cross checking
