Migration from SLED12 to SP1 fails

Test system with SLED12 and SLE12-SDK. Migration with “zypper migrate”
fails with following output:

This is a test system. I can just erase it and start from scratch. The
product “SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 SP1 x86_64” is most likely
from an old try to upgrade. But then I am not able to get rid of it. And
it does not show up as an installed product:

zypper products -i

Any ideas how to proceed, Other than starting with a fresh installation :slight_smile:

You’ve shown us what products are installed but does “zypper products”
(without the “-i”) or “zypper products -u” list the SLED12 SP1 one?

HTH.

(no products found) So this does not list the SLED12 SP1 product.

So this worked finally after setting up the test system freshly.
