Hi,

 I finally sit down to upgrade my 10.2 system to 10.3. I didn't have 
time to go and try the alpha/beta versions, but jumped directly to the 
GM.
 Well, the process took little bit more than 2 hours, but I become very 
upset after the first hour as my system became completely useless. I 
spent almost an hour to manually bring to a state where I can boot 
it. :(
 To make the story short here: upgrade of two packages failed (libzypp 
and pango) in the post-install phase, complaining about missing 
libraries. I didn't take a look to pango, but it turned out that 
libzypp fails because zypp-migrate-sources cannot find libssl.so.0.9.8 
and libcrypto.so.0.9.8. But when I (manually) tried to install 
libopenssl0_9_8-0.9.8e-45, it said it is already installed. So I forced 
the installation of libopenssl0_9_8 and libzypp . Now at least yast can 
be started.
 Of course I got this errors during the upgrade process, but I couldn't 
do anything but either ignore the errors, hoping the install will still 
finish and can fix the problems after the reboot, or abort the install 
meaning that my system is for sure unusable. 
 But this was not enough, installing the new kernel failed as well, 
because I got the error that there was an error creating the initrd 
(but the error dialog was EMPTY), and at this moment the installation 
aborted.
 I tried to reboot and select the menu item to repair a broken 
installation, but that gave me an error from the start that the 
installation failed. Tried this after I fixed the libzypp issue, got 
the same error. After I got this message I tried to run again the 
installation from the yast console mode (without rebooting), but I got 
the same error. I didn't try to reboot and start the installation over, 
I decided to fix the system somehow with the rescue option. And here I 
am, I fixed, but on reboot yast didn't came up as it usually does after 
a new install/upgrade, so I'm wonder how "finished" is my installation 
now...

 All this is described as bug #331254  with the yast logs.
