and then it asks 1 by 1 for what to do .

What would happen if I say:

Solution 2: keep obsolete ...

Then go through opi and pip to finish the updates. I already have full backupS.

Am I think along the right track or …

Thanks

Try
zypper dup --allow-vendor-change

The upgrade to 15.5 from 15.4 I would have waited at least 2 months after the official release, currently 15.5 is in RC version and all the repos you can’t find them active except the standard ones, for example I had done the 15.5 beta version installation from new with the upgrade to 15.5 RC version I am having problems with the video section…
Just take it as a personal consideration, it happened to me often to make this change for example in the various versions 42 and 15 up to 15.3, not always everything went well, but I always made them at least 2 months after the official release of the next version…, maybe a tool should be made that allows this change in a safer way, as it happens in other distros

@jambolo70 Hi, Leap 15.5 was released to day… See https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/project@lists.opensuse.org/thread/KULAW6UEV33HNE46GDXLECV2HUD3TAH3/

I upgraded my ADS-B system (All of 293 packages…) without problem, just follow the upgrade SDB especially for the repo key change…

5

And that is exactly the information needed to suggest an answer and you omitted this information. Because we have no idea what problems there are.

6

You you did this before you wanted to start the upgrade:

Why?

One of the things to do before an upgrade to the next LEAP version, is bringing the old version up-to-date. And that requires a zypper up.

Tried dup to 15.5, but got a nasty error:

Upon zypper failing it’s broken:

leap154:~ # zypper
zypper: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.30' not found (required by /usr/lib64/libzypp.so.1722)
leap154:~ #

Rollback required.

8

There is no problem. I was asking question:

WHEN I will do my upgrade, I will encounter these problems. What's the best way of dealing with them?

That’s all

9

I was NOT trying to do the actual upgrade. I just wanted to see how the upgrade would go IF i did it or IF it would be something more involved. And get prepared.

10

Use --allow-vendor-change

11

As long as you do not use the 15.5 repos for that test, it is rather useless in my opinion.

12

Checked some prerequisites for successful upgrade:

  1. Run version 15.4 zypper update
  2. Create canonical list of repos:
