Upgrading OpenSUSE 15.0 to 15.1 It's a little bit un-obvious how to do this. You have to edit the repo files to change the release version, then refresh + update. sed -ri 's/15\.0/15.1/' /etc/zypp/repos.d/*.repo zypper ref zypper dup reboot Note this works on a transactional host too: sed -ri 's/15\.0/15.1/' /etc/zypp/repos.d/*.repo transactional-update dup reboot It would be nice if these was an upgrade tool that would attempt the upgrade and revert the repo files, or use temporary repo file...
