Post:

zypper --releasever=00000 lr -d

to see if there are Repo-URL’s hardcoded with 15.4…

t_neo · June 22, 2023, 5:39pm

Have you followed the wiki to upgrade? SDB:System upgrade - openSUSE Wiki

For hardcoded repos you need to replace that value with {releasever}, by executing:
sed -i 's/15.4/${releasever}/g' /etc/zypp/repos.d/*.repo

Yes, I completely forgot to properly format the output, I’m sorry…

When using the --releasever=00000 option, virtually the only difference in whole output is, in terms of sed command, s/15.4/00000/ in the URLs. Does this say something?

Thanks again.

Sauerland · June 22, 2023, 6:11pm

releasever ist only temporary variable, only for that givenn command…
So I do not know, if you use my command with releasever or only zypper lr -d.
Next time please post the complete output incl. the complete commandline wirh the command…
If you use the releasever Version, you have hardcoded 15.4 in all of you URLs…

But for example there is no wine Repo for 15.5.

I would also delete the debug and source Repos.

arvidjaar · June 22, 2023, 6:13pm

They are disabled. It is standard setup which allows enabling them when needed.

Sauerland · June 22, 2023, 6:15pm

I do that because it is a better readable list.
You can add them if you are need them, but as a “normal” User I think you do not use them.

Remove #3 on that list. It has “15.4” showing. You don’t need it, because it is a duplicate of #12.

F_style · June 22, 2023, 7:00pm

Removed #3.

Now, back to OP, could someone please guide with how to properly upgrade everything without consequences?
Thanks again.

Sauerland · June 22, 2023, 8:12pm

Nobody can say if something is going wrong or not.

And as I said, there is no wine Repo for Leap 15.5…
So disable and derefresh it.

After that as root:

zypper --releasever=15.5 ref

zypper releasever=15.5 dup

And crossing fingers…

Why still no wine repo? Or is it just a “matter of time” due to how recent the new release is?

F_style · June 22, 2023, 10:56pm

On more specific doubts:
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade#Extra_repositories_handling
—Are mozilla, wine, packman, nvidia all “arbitrary OBS repositories”? Must I remove them first before any upgrade attempt?

—If I fully update whole system current additional repos first, do I still need to manually import the new 4096 RSA key?

Thanks.

pedroSMS · June 23, 2023, 12:57am

In case you haven’t seen this…

I’ve just upgraded from 15.3 to 15.4, with a few bumps…

Good luck
Pedro

Beware of breaking the rules: Question before upgrading to 15.5 - #7 by karlmistelberger. You may need to recover.

Sauerland · June 24, 2023, 6:21pm

Its not there. Why? I do not know. Maybe ask here:

PS: you can use wine from the OSS Repo. Or use the Emulators Repo.

I have done an Upgrade with the enabled Packman and Nvidia Repos without Problems.
But that will not say anything, You can get trouble.

Best is to backup your data before Upgrade.

pier_andreit · June 24, 2023, 6:58pm

this is what I did and it went well:
----------------upgrade online from 15.4 to 15.5
uodate all packages yast>software management>Package>All Packages>Update if newer version available

The way I would do it is to disable any repos that are not the core OSS/non-OSS/update repos.

What does the upgrade page that you linked to recommend? That is probably what I would do.

You would have to ask the maintainer of the repo.

As you know from previous upgrades that you’ve done, there are no guarantees - the process is tested as part of the build process, but it’s simply impossible to test every possible permutation of installed software, configured hardware, additional third-party software, and so on and to guarantee that any particular individual is going to have a problem-free upgrade.

Run the upgrade after following the recommendations in the upgrade page, and then if you have problems, come back and ask for help with those specific issues.

If potentially negative consequences are outside of your risk tolerance, you might wait until after the release has been out for more than just a few weeks - a “wait and see” approach can give you the chance to learn from what others experience.

Another alternative is to build a similar system in a virtual machine and run the upgrade there to see what happens. You can use snapshots to revert and try different things, particularly if you have third-party software installed outside of the normal software management system.
