Description Forgotten User ZhJd0F0L3x 2007-11-22 12:18:05 UTC 
Today i tried to update my openSUSE 10.3 machine to factory (stable-x86) with the "Factory update" module.
It did not work.

"Updating system to another version (openSUSE 10.3 -> openSUSE FACTORY 10.3.1) is not supported on the running system.
Please, boot from the installation media and use a normal upgrade or disable installation sources of products with different versions."

I would at least have expected an "WTF - do it anyway, i know what i am doing!"-Button that lets me update on my own risk.

I'm now going to update using the "update all packages where there's a newer version"-approach in the package installer.

Reassigning to maintainer.

This message:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Updating system to another version (openSUSE 10.3 -> openSUSE FACTORY 10.3.1)
is not supported on the running system.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

is a statement. It actually means what it says.

This:

[x] "WTF - do it anyway, i know what i am doing!"

is a feature request, so, please, don't file it as a Normal bug but an Enhancement.

LATER means: a project / product manager should decide whether he / she wants it. In that case, a nice FATE request would be better :) ;)

The whole "FACTORY Update"-module is not supported anyway. But now it is also totally useless. In this case, let's drop it and just use systems that work.
Comment 5 Stephan Kulow 2008-06-25 09:10:53 UTC 
mass reopening of later+remind bugs of 11.0
Comment 6 Lukas Ocilka 2008-08-04 11:25:22 UTC 
Supported scenario:

  * Keep the old installation repository registered
  * Add a new one (FACTORY, another product ...)
  * Run update

Libzypp should solve it or propose some solutions.
Since: yast2-update-2.17.0
