One thing comes up my mind from past incidents while suse upgrades. Dont forget about to-be-upgraded systems when changing essential stuff such as compression compatibility and so on. I think we used to have an opensuse version some years ago, that had a show stopper that caused incompatibility in the rpm packages while zypper dup-ing or something similar, which made it necessary to use an updated rpm and or some related libs first before being able to perform a zypper dup.
Yes, I remember that one. The issue would be new version not being able to cope with old format. Otherwise, it is normal, new feature is not supported by old version. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
