Then several terminal pages of things in blue, so seemingly duplicates.

What is that suppose to mean?
The update didn’t actually reinstall Leap 15.3.
Sorry I don’t have a screen capture.
Just curious.

Checking here (with Yast online update) I see:

openSUSE-2021-1321 - Recommended update for Leap-release

Leap-release was updated to fix:

  • Add %sle_version rpm macro as is in SUSE Linux Enterprise (bsc#1187214).

It is updating the “openSUSE-release” package. And, I think that whenever that package is updated, zypper reports it as reinstall the release. I think that’s a base package that pulls in almost everything else as a dependency or a recommend. But since this is an update, it isn’t going to reinstall all of those dependencies unless those packages have also been update.

Thanks, was not ‘worrisome’, but came as a surprise. I didn’t think about looking at YaST Online Update.
