Actually I have 2 question, perhaps the first is just a confirmation.
1. From reading the docs, I understand `zypped dup` will delete "unavailable" packages (packages which are NOT t in any Enabled repo). Is that correct?
No. It will delete packages that are explicitly marked for deletion in distribution meta-data. It may offer to delete packages to resolve conflicts, but that has nothing to do with their origin.
Ok - this is good (for me at least). I want my "unknown origin" packages kept, and I was worried based on this section man zypper ``` dist-upgrade (dup) [options] Perform a distribution upgrade. This command applies the state of (specified) repositories onto the system; upgrades (or even downgrades) installed packages to versions found in repositories, removes packages that are no longer in the repositories and pose a dependency problem ``` so I do have to analyse the messages carefully (the list may be long) ... if I come across a package offered to be deleted because of "dependency problem", that I want, I suppose there is no way to actually do a "zypper dup"?
2. If the above is correct, is there an option not to delete such "unavailable" packages?
I do not think there is single command to do it. You can list all packages in @System repository and remove them manually. YaST GUI may offer some assistance here.
Right. But I do not want to remove them (manually or otherwise), I want to keep them ;) Thanks
