I decided to then pass rpmconfigcheck in Konsole.
For those interested, I have a script that makes a backup of the files listed by rpmconfigcheck. I have a directory named ~/Upgrades. Inside, I create a directory named, for example, "From_154_to_155".

Thanks.
I could see your unique environment and thought it was very different from mine.
By the way, I noticed this;
CER> #/var/lib/scpm/active_groups.rpmsave --\>
Where did you get this scpm from?
Ah, that was a comment in the script. A sample output the year I wrote the script; that was 2019 or earlier. I see it was installed on 12.1 or 12.3 I see I still have a copy of the rpm: /data/storage_c/repositorios_zypp/15_1/OBS_KDE_KDE3/x86_64/scpm-1.1.7-lp151.21.5.x86_64.rpm It is not currently installed, but I still have: /etc/sysconfig/scpm /var/lib/scpm /var/lib/scpm/journal I definitely used scpm in the laptop while it was supported. But this machine is a desktop. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)
