11.2RC1 Does not upgrade.

English Applications
#1

Or it doesn’t seem to, at least.

I just recently picked up some new Internet after having ran 11.2RC1 for awhile. Thus, I tried to update the system to the new release (via zypper ref and zypper dup). There were a few updates, sure, but nothing that seemed as if it was a system upgrade.

Also, According to sysinfo:/, I’m still running RC1. Odd.

Any ideas?

Good to be back in the openSUSE community after a long hiatus distro-hopping. Haven’t been around since the forums were fresh.

Note: I made a new thread as to avoid hijacking a similar, however seemingly different, thread.

Here is the output of zypper lr:

For one thing you made the mistake of adding too many repo’s to a RC install.

The upgrade should be done like this:

change repo source to new version (11.1 -> 11.2) using Yast or Zypper
zypper ref
zypper in zypper libzypp
zypper dup

Though I would consider removing all repo’s except oss, non-oss and Update

First, thanks for the response.

I neglected to mention that I did perform ‘zypper in zypper libzypp’, of course, there was “nothing to do.” :wink:

About the repositories - I understand the risk, and in my defence, all but one were available through community repositories via YaST. I’m cool with breaking my system, if it happens. I would just hope to actually have some updates and a system that reads as 11.2 Final without having to be freshly installed.

In any case, I’m a moron. I should have thought to take the repos back to basic, but I didn’t. zypper dup is offering me a license agreement now.

We’ll see how this works.

Anyway, thanks for the help, and sorry for coming off as a complete tool. Ha.

Excellent. That’s what you needed.
