It all went fairly smooth until I rebooted to use the new kernel etc… And it couldn’t shutdown. {I had to pull the plug on it.}
I booted another installed Linux and examined the opensuse file system. I had almost given up and gone with a fresh install when I noticed that the symlinks in /etc/systemd were broken… All /lib/systemd had were a few empty directories…
So when I found the systemd stuff in /usr/lib/systemd I deleted the virtually empty /lib/systemd tree and did a
ln -s /usr/lib/systemd /lib/systemd
When I finaly booted opensuse 12.3, it all seems to work.
It shouldn’t be necessary.
Maybe it would be better to just remove the dangling symlinks in /etc/systemd/. The defaults should be used then.
Or redirect the symlinks to /usr/lib/systemd/.
Or enable the corresponding services again with systemctl, the links should be corrected then.
Although having symlinked /lib/systemd to /usr/lib/systemd should do no harm.
He doesn’t say anything about having used “zypper in”. He said he “followed the instructions to upgrade with zypper, in http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade”. (I added a comma for clarity… )

Dunno.
If you have doubts, you can do an “offline upgrade” on top of wht you
have. Offline upgrade
