That is not too strange for a zypper dup. Why did you choose forr a zypper dup instead of a* zypper up*?

#3

Do any of the downgrades change vendor/repo?

I’ve always been running zypper dup because the creator and maintainer
Greg Kroah-Hartman says that’s the way to do it.

And stuff getting downgraded is not that unusual. Nothing to worry
about. It’s probably due to vendor changes, happens all the time.
