Hi Mike
Excellent stuff Although should have picked up on the old release
repositories still present earlier
Now you need to consider your update path to SP2, think there is only a
few months left for SP1…
For that you can use the YaST Service Pack Migration and the dry run to
see what will happen…

Greetings Malcolm, good morning. I am not quite sure what you mean by “should have picked up on the old release repositories still present earlier”? Is this the output from the command: “zypper lu -t patch”? I executed this command and it looks clean. However when I execute the command: “zypper dup --from SLES12SP1Update” the output wants me to downgrade three (3) packages. Now sure what to do and why! Is there other commands that I should execute to evaluate the status of this system?
[CODE]linux140:~ # zypper lu -t patch
Loading repository data…
Reading installed packages…
No updates found.
linux140:~ # zypper dup --from SLES12SP1Update
Loading repository data…
Reading installed packages…
Computing distribution upgrade…
The following 3 packages are going to be downgraded:
libldb1 libldb1-32bit zypper-migration-plugin
3 packages to downgrade.
Overall download size: 214.0 KiB. Already cached: 0 B. No additional space will be used or freed after the operation.
Continue? [y/n/? shows all options] (y): n[/CODE]
Hi
The fact that you had the old release repos active
You should only need to use zypper up now that things have been cleaned
up, the dup was only to get things switched that needed to be to the
new repos.

Greetings Malcolm, I still have a question about the output from the command: “zypper lu -t patch”. This command asks to downgrade three (3) packages. What reasons would there be for the downgrade. A bad upgrade maybe that has been pulled? Should I downgrade these three (3) packages?
Hi
Run zypper if on each package name, I suspect they are from the non SP1 repo (and probably different version numbering) hence the downgrade is just to get them to the SP1 versions.
Greetings Malcolm, thank you very much for the explanation. Took a bit of investigation to check the rpms on each of the repositories and verify that your explanation spot on! You have been a great help! Have a great day!
