I decided to track my upgrade from 9.1 to 9.2 using the Suse apt tools.

First, I made sure I had the latest GPG signatures by following the instructions on the web page.

Then I ran ‘apt –test dist-upgrade’ to see what was going to happen. It spat out a huge list of files, a lot of yast2* and suse* packages. I expect it to break apache2 and php with the worker model problems.

Running it with the –test options means that everything gets downloaded, but not actually applied to the system. This is nice because then I can be assured that I have all of the packages before trying to install them, just in case there is a big problem encountered.

It looks like it will be a while now, apt is saying 11 days until finished… LOL, wait, I have a VNC session running. Closed that and my download speeds just about doubled.
Things are proceeding slowly, one thing that might make your life easier is to download subversion from here:

ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/projects/apache/subversion/9.1-i386/ because it seems like the apt sources are pointing to the wrong file.
