Hosed upgrade ? Why am I on openSUSE 11.3?

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

I was running on openSUSE 11.2 RC1, and given that the final was released, I thought of upgrading to the final. So launched Konsole,
hit

zypper dup

And after about 1 gig in downloads, the upgrade was done. When I rebooted, I was rather surprised to see 11.3 being displayed on grub. Once logged on, paid a visit to sysinfo:/ and have a look:

http://www.imgx.org/pthumbs/small/19934/openSUSE%2011.3.jpeg](http://www.imgx.org/public/view/19934)

sathya@shaman:/> cat /etc/SuSE-release
openSUSE 11.3 (i586)
VERSION = 11.3

So why am I on 11.3 ? What did I do wrong ?
Is it because I’m on 11.3 I can’t do lot of things (for instance open YaST Software management - get this error:

Error loading language plugin /usr/lib/YaST2/plugin/libpy2lang_perl.so: libperl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Error while creating client module sw_single

(I’m guessing I need to install Perl ? How ? )
Thanks

Factory is now 11.3. You should have disabled it when 11.2 was released. With
Factory disabled, a ‘sudo zypper dup’ should get you 11.2. Note: it will
download a lot of packages.

#4

So disabling factory & doing a dup will rollback to 11.2 ?

alright downgrading to 11.2, another gig to download.
Thanks.

#5

Don’t worry you ain’t the first to manage this

It did for me.

That’s reassuring :smiley:

It did for me.

Thanks, worked for me as well.

I am trying out opsensuse, but I am dissapointed at the wireless support. Is Opensuse 11.3 going to have better wireless card support?

Hi
I see this is your first post, so welcome to the openSUSE forums. I
suggest instead of picking on an old post, you post a specific problem
about your wireless in here;
http://forums.opensuse.org/network-internet/wireless/

However, before that, please read through the stickies and post the
required information so someone can help;
