Obviously you didn't understand what I meant what I wrote to say. Steps performed:
You are right :-}
1-remove optional repos from i586 13.1 installation
2-zypper dup (to restore installed packages to OSS/Non-OSS/Update versions only)
Ah.
3-cleanup leaves manually (all (System Packages) removed)
4-boot x86_64 13.1 installation media with upgrade=1 on kernel cmdline
Didn't know that option.
5-select i586 13.1 installation as upgrade target
6-ack arch change
The DVD should complain bitterly :-P
I rarely use DVDs. I normally, as I did here, use Grub, installation linux and initrd, and HTTP source. Since this is for a release version, I could have used a DVD, since I have the .iso, but HTTP is a habit.
7-let yast do its job (double digit "packages to upgrade" count was obviously low)
8-boot "upgraded" 13.1 installation
Resulting installed packages at this point: i586 821 i686 6 x86_64 80 noarch 642
Only 80 x86_64 packages? That's weird, something must have gone wrong.
Hence the thread here.
Perhaps the list of installed packages contained only a few from the DVD, so most could not be upgraded.
I doubt there's anything on the DVD that isn't in HTTP, unless Evergreening the repos went wrong somewhere.
Verify the package containing os-release, /etc/SuSE-release, and SUSE-brand. Once correct, do a "zypper dup".
Too late. That's all been done. The only remaining i586 package is master-boot-code, which apparently is not available for 13.1 in x86_64 version.

Unrecognized commands are either aliases or miniscripts in /usr/local/bin. e.g. zypse picks out x86 and noarch packages, strips source and DVD packages, and sorts zypper se -s results. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
