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.

I was just about to ask questions about upgrading from 10.2 x86_64 to
10.3. I haven't got past thinking whether to use zypper update or boot
from CD and do online update. The other two x86_64 boxes that had been
kept updated through Alpha, Beta and RC, no problems using "zypper
update -t package".
Interesting to see if there is a happy outcome from the bug report.
Regards
Sid.
