I got stuck in an upgrade from Leap 15.1 to 15.2 using zypper. After the process (zypper --releasever=15.2 --download-in-advance dup) has resolved all existing problems and I give the thumbs up to continue I get a message that requires me to agree with the conditions on Mesa-DRI-nouveau by clicking on "I agree with the conditions". I got two problems with this

1. There is no visible knob with "I agree" since I am working in a text screen, as is advised for the upgrade. So I press q (leave this pane) and then a menacing message "Do you agree or not [yes/no] (no)" appears.

The "agree" should be inside the terminal, I have never seen it outside. What I did was: 1) Leave X runing 2) ctrl-alt-F1 to switch to text mode 3) login as root. 4) run "tmux new" Go to another computer, simply because the seat is more compfortable, ssh to first computer as root, and run "tmux attach". Now I have the same terminal on two computers. Run zypper dup with download in advance and autoagree to licenses. You can skip step 4 if you wish.

If I type "no" at this points the process stops because I do not agree. If I type 'yes" the machine hangs

2. I do not need Mesa-DRI-nouveau, since I don't have an Nvidia graphics card but a radeon (AMD).

Then taboo that package.

So why in the name of the flying spaghetti monster (blessed be her appendages) does it want to install it? It isn't installed in the current installation.

Huh, taboo something that is not installed? I do not remember if possible.

So how do I get out of this deadlock? Has anyone experienced this?

Not me, but I only upgraded one machine yet, a laptop with intel graphics. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Thanks for any suggestions.

This sounds like it needs to be filed as a Bug Report. For two reasons (1) there should never be a hang in a zypper dup, and (2) Mesa-DRI-nouveau shouldn't need a confirmation anyway. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
