zypper patch, up or dup?

"zypper patch" is what YaST Online Update does.

"zypper up" is a bit more but _without_ vendor changes.

While "zypper dup" even includes vendor chnages.

I'm not sure if this is 100% correct. But man zypper on a 11.2 system explains the details. Feel free to correct me!

A zypper dup might even suggest to install "older" = lower versions of a package. IIRC here it relies on the the build time of a packages. The intention is to bring the system to a consistent state.

I think the fact with 'downgrading' a package comes from the repo priorities that are defined. Build time should never have been an argument. Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
