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.
You can upgrade or downgrade. Your choice. You can, for example, run this: rpm -q -a --queryformat "%{INSTALLTIME}\t%{INSTALLTIME:day} \ %{BUILDTIME:day} %-30{NAME}\t%15{VERSION}-%-7{RELEASE}\t%{arch} \ %25{VENDOR}%25{PACKAGER} == %{DISTRIBUTION} %{DISTTAG}\n" \ | sort | cut --fields="2-" | tee rpmlist \ | egrep -v "openSUSE.12\.3" | less -S to find those packages that do not belong to 12.3 and replace them. For upgrade to 13.1, there is a wiki page with instructions. IMO, you should disable ALL but the 4 mandatory repos, edit them to point to 13.1, then run "zypper dup" - you'd better have a good internet. Download and prepare in advance a boot media for 13.1, just in case; I'd recommend the XFCE rescue image.
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)?
You are the admin, you are responsible :-p Software is what it is. Zypper/yast toolchain does no distro version check. It's up to you to shoot your own foot, unfortunately. -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
