Zypper asking to downgrade from LEAP 15.3 to 15.2

[MissSB]

That looks pretty good. Do you have anything in /etc/zypp/vars.d?

Just this file

ll /etc/zypp/vars.d 
total 4 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5 Oct  4  2020 releasever

[arvidjaar]

ll /etc/zypp/vars.d 
total 4 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5 Oct  4  2020 releasever

And the content of this file?

And the content of this file?

  $ cat /etc/zypp/vars.d/releasever      
15.2

Strange

[arvidjaar]

  $ cat /etc/zypp/vars.d/releasever      
15.2

Which explains why zypper thinks you are still on 15.2.

  $ cat /etc/zypp/vars.d/releasever      
15.2

Strange

This couldn't have happened without trying to use $releasever. Sticking with literal version number in repos WFM very well thank you. It may be enough that you change that file to 15.3 and try zypper dup --releasever=15.3 again.

Are you sure? I used relesever and I didn't hav a problem like this. I do not even have the file:

henk@boven:~> ll /etc/zypp/vars.d 
total 0

It might be better to just remove that file.

Are you sure?

By "this" I meant the mess OP is wants fixed.

I renamed the file and run "zypper dup" and all seems fine now. I still have to get rid of the excess repos. I truly appreciate all your help/input and prompt responses. One of the main reasons I love this distro.
