I have tried to do an Online Update from YaST and got the following error:
openSUSE-release-12.1-1.4.i586 requires openSUSE-release= 12.1-1.4, but this requirement cannot be provided
Does anyone know what this error means?
Any info appreciated.
Thanks.
Edit: I have gone ahead with the Online Update, satisfying requirements in the YaST dialog. Hopefully everything’s fine.
It’s a bug in the repo I think, just make sure all other updates are updated and leave this one out. I don’t recommend deleting your entire system at this time 
I went to Software Management, searched for openSUSE-release, selected it for update. selected the uninstall the old version and update, and it worked… hopefully. Been working the past couple of hours and the system seems OK.
I cancelled out, then deselected all but the openssl update. Then I went ahead with that.
This is presumably a minor goof somewhere in preparing the update. I’ll try again in a couple of days time, and it will probably be fixed by then.

I did the same. Not at all like some warning that 100s and 1000s of
packages getting deleted and the like. I’ll reboot and see what happens.
I’m expecting nothing drastic.
