Another variant with a fallback, is getting the ISO, so you're independent of the net for the important stuff. If all else fails, you can still boot some rescue system, and (worst case) mount the system, (and mount --bind /proc, /sys and /dev) and mount the .iso and use 'rpm --nodeps --force --root=/mnt' (or chroot) to install a critical package (e.g. libzypp).
Ah! I needed this trick the other day, but I had forgotten about it.
An important step I didn't know of: Change the
arch=i586 # (or i686?)
entry in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf to
arch=x86_64
You need that while booting the upgrade from the dvd? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
