Impossible, you absolutely need to use “zypper dup” for that procedure.
System is now broken. Read the documentation and proceed.

I have a bash script for using Zypper: Zypper Command - Zypper Package Management Menu System - Version 2.00 - Blogs - openSUSE Forums Always backup important Data. If you were not using Grub 2, the distro default, consider installing new from a DVD as doing a zypper dup from grub legacy to grub 2 may not work as hoped.

Thank You,

in additional to above repos you may also need non oss update repo Index of /update/12.3-non-oss

You can do the upgrade (dup) without them, and add them later, after the
procedure. This way the destination point is more predictable, less
departing from the design target. Longer time, of course.

#8

And how did you upgrade? You only have 12.2 repos (except for repo-update12,3).
Change all of them to 12.3 and it should work.

And please show the result of “zypper lr -d”, that’s more useful because it also shows the repos’ URL.

#9

It would be better is you post details of

zypper lr -d

with an extra d
Do post outpput within code tags. Use the # symbol in forum post editor to use code tag

#10

Whooo that is so wrong. What are all those 12.2 repos doing active???

You have done only updates to 12.3 and you still have 12.2 updates active. ie you have a real mess. No wonder you have unresolved dependencies.

You should have no 12.2 active and only 12.3 repos in the list

Follow jdmcdaniel3’s advice above

but not sure that will fix things or not but probably your best shot at recovery short of a new install.

#11

Sorry indeed I followed this procedure, but even after zypper dup, still I get the same error in updates : nothing provides libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.16)(64bit) needed by vlc-noX-2.0.6-17.1.x86_64 nothing provides libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.16)(64bit) needed by mono-core-3.0.4-1.4.1.x86_64 …

#12

Thank you very much, indeed removing repos and adding 12.3 , then zypper dup worked , much longer than before. and I rebooted successfully.

#13

this was my first online upgrade. it was my mistake not to remove old repos. thanks, now it worked.

#14

For future upgrades please read https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade.

There is an easy commandline mentioned to change the repo urls to the new version:

sed -i 's/12\.2/12\.3/g' /etc/zypp/repos.d/*
