11.1/Online upgrade

From openSUSE

Use the following steps to do an online upgrade.

From 11.0 to 11.1

1. Replace all 11.0 repository with the corresponding 11.1 repositories, e.g:

   # zypper lr -u
   1  | Main Repository (OSS) | Main Repository (OSS) | Yes | No |  http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.0/repo/oss/                                                   
   
   # zypper sd 1
   # zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/ main_repository_oss
   # zypper ref
   

2. Update zypper (This is _very_ important)

   # zypper in zypper
   

3. #Run a dist-upgrade

    # zypper dup
   

Known issues

Zypper quoting issue

Installation of satsolver-tools-0.13.0-3.3 failed:
(with --nodeps --force) Error: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: 
error: open of /var/cache/zypp/packages/Main\ failed:  No such file or directory 
error: open of Repository\ failed: No such file or directory
error: open of (OSS)/suse/i586/satsolver-tools-0.13.0-3.3.i586.rpm failed: No such file or directory

This is caused by a space in the repository name. Edit /etc/zypp/repos.d to remove the blanks. (Bug #460561)

Vendor changes

When running a zypper dup zypper may complain about certain packages that will change vendor from 'None' to 'Suse Linux Products Gmbh'
