Note: This post began with the leap-16.0-beta tag selected. But it wouldn’t post. And now I can’t see that tag.
I’m not sure how best to proceed with the upgrade from Leap-15.6 to Leap-16.0 Beta.
**Is the opensuse-migration-tool expected to perform this upgrade? **
It isn’t working for me. The following is a copy of my console sessions.
### First I did the following as root, but didn't record the results
