Back up everything. Create a temporary directory Download individual rpms ...
True, it all looks pretty safe, and I'm sure it is for you. But I've followed directions I thought I understood before and run into trouble.
Yeah, I know how that feels... Very sensible to tread lightly.
And as I said, I was working through it to be sure I really understood the instructions before starting when Tony's suggestion arrived.
See that's something *I* would've been a little wary of. I've had things go pretty wrong, by 'just symlinking' some version of some lib, to a different version... which reminds me: The link you created probably isn't doing anything bad, but I'd suggest removing it anyways. Since your zypper is now at the 'current' version, the link shouldn't be neccessary anymore, and it might cause confusion at some later stage...
... Just:
rpm -q zypper
embelex:/usr/lib # rpm -q zypper zypper-1.3.4-0.1.3.i586
So it appears I'm up to date.
Indeed. Nice :)
So it appears Tony's trick was enough to get zypper back in good shape, and my system back up to date.
Thanks very much! Not only is my system fixed, but I've learned some neat stuff.
