crpb Das ist jetzt kein vorschlag sondern nur ein Fakt!
Nach einem zypper dup hat wieder alles funktioniert.
There wasn't any official statement but i guess it's now somewhat Stable.
Will open a Ticket and report back.
Upgrade Appliance to opensuse 15.4
I find it critical that there is no info - leap 15.3 support ends with the end of december and that's why a statement would be exciting what happens here. especially in terms of security, there is still a lot to be done here, as it looks, even microsoft is more transparent.

ak4020 Tomorrow your wish comes true, however, that stated, packages for 15.4 are available since > 6 months, just not the "install from scratch" appliance. documentation on how to upgrade will surface shortly after release, so you'll be in time

Hello,
I want to ask if there exist any manual or things to pay attention when doing the Upgrade?
Concrete:
When I do a zypper dup (after zypper ref && zypper up of course) I get the following:
Problem: problem with the installed dracut-kiwi-lib-9.24.23-lp153.1.1.x86_64
Problem: problem with the installed dracut-kiwi-live-9.24.23-lp153.1.1.x86_64
Problem: problem with the installed dracut-kiwi-oem-dump-9.24.23-lp153.1.1.x86_64
Problem: problem with the installed dracut-kiwi-oem-repart-9.24.23-lp153.1.1.x86_64
Problem: problem with the installed kiwi-systemdeps-bootloaders-9.24.23-lp153.1.1.x86_64
Problem: problem with the installed kiwi-systemdeps-core-9.24.23-lp153.1.1.x86_64
Problem: problem with the installed kiwi-systemdeps-disk-images-9.24.23-lp153.1.1.x86_64
Problem: problem with the installed kiwi-systemdeps-filesystems-9.24.23-lp153.1.1.x86_64
Problem: problem with the installed kiwi-systemdeps-iso-media-9.24.23-lp153.1.1.x86_64
Problem: problem with the installed kiwi-tools-9.24.23-lp153.1.1.x86_64It then asks vor every packet like this:
Problem: problem with the installed dracut-kiwi-lib-9.24.23-lp153.1.1.x86_64
Solution 1: install dracut-kiwi-lib-9.24.43-150100.3.56.3.x86_64 from vendor SUSE LLC <https://www.suse.com/>
replacing dracut-kiwi-lib-9.24.23-lp153.1.1.x86_64 from vendor obs://build.opensuse.org/Virtualization:Appliances
Solution 2: keep obsolete dracut-kiwi-lib-9.24.23-lp153.1.1.x86_64I also noticed since some time when I do zypper up it always says:
The following 10 package updates will NOT be installed:
dracut-kiwi-lib dracut-kiwi-live dracut-kiwi-oem-dump dracut-kiwi-oem-repart kiwi-systemdeps-bootloaders
kiwi-systemdeps-core kiwi-systemdeps-disk-images kiwi-systemdeps-filesystems kiwi-systemdeps-iso-media kiwi-tools
So its the same packages. Should I replace the packets from vender SUSE LLC or is there something else to do?
Thank you and
Greetings
tf91 to cleanup / solve this issue, run this command:
rpm -e dracut-kiwi-lib dracut-kiwi-live dracut-kiwi-oem-dump dracut-kiwi-oem-repart kiwi-systemdeps-bootloaders kiwi-systemdeps-core kiwi-systemdeps-disk-images kiwi-systemdeps-filesystems kiwi-systemdeps-iso-media kiwi-tools
FYI: this packages are not needed for grommunio.

Sadly it doesn't work anymore like it did two weeks ago. Did try an Upgrade of my actual System which just broke it.
After that i tried the ova 2022.12.1 which was a bit odd with the different $repoversions. At least i upgraded it to 15.4 but haven't tried an actual installation yet as stuff like this is still a bit icky..

That's actually still on 15.3..

Joa, ich warte bis die Pakete gefixt sind. Dann kann ich es noch mal probieren :-).

Are the any news for the upgrade?
If I replace 15.3 with 15.4 in repo files I have unresolved dependencies:

Same to us - we also waiting for a stable time window in the supported channel to do the upgrade!
But every weekend we find new trouble and ending up in a not running appliance.
Here are our steps summary:
To fix the permanent warnings
The following 10 package updates will NOT be installed:
dracut-kiwi-lib dracut-kiwi-live dracut-kiwi-oem-dump dracut-kiwi-oem-repart kiwi-systemdeps-bootloaders kiwi-systemdeps-core kiwi-systemdeps-disk-images kiwi-systemdeps-filesystems kiwi-systemdeps-iso-media kiwi-tools
rpm -e dracut-kiwi-lib dracut-kiwi-live dracut-kiwi-oem-dump dracut-kiwi-oem-repart kiwi-systemdeps-bootloaders kiwi-systemdeps-core kiwi-systemdeps-disk-images kiwi-systemdeps-filesystems kiwi-systemdeps-iso-media kiwi-tools
Zypper refresh
zypper ref
Zypper update
zypper up
edit the repo files (replace 15.3 by 15.4)
sed -i "s/15.3/15.4/g" /etc/zypp/repos.d/base.repo
sed -i "s/15.3/15.4/g" /etc/zypp/repos.d/grommunio.repo
sed -i "s/15.3/15.4/g" /etc/zypp/repos.d/grommunio-base.repo
Opensuse Version Upgrade to 15.4
zypper --releasever=15.4 dup --download-in-heaps
The following just FYI - as most know i think :-)
Disable repository
zypper modifyrepo -d grommunio
Enable repository
zypper modifyrepo -e grommunio
Show the installed version
rpm -qa |grep -E "(grommunio|gromox|mapi|libHX32|libexmdbpp|libfmt|libgumbo1|libpff1|libtinyxml|libvmime)" | sort
Will be nice to get some comments how we can fix is in a short time !
ncoker If you have to to this: rpm -e dracut-kiwi-lib dracut-kiwi-live dracut-kiwi-oem-dump dracut-kiwi-oem-repart kiwi-systemdeps-bootloaders kiwi-systemdeps-core kiwi-systemdeps-disk-images kiwi-systemdeps-filesystems kiwi-systemdeps-iso-media kiwi-tools you have a very old installation. Yes, these packages are unused and needs to be removed.
WalterH If 2022.5.1 is very old, then yes. The packages came from the original applicance installation last year. I had to erase it too.
ncoker Here are our steps summary:
Thanks for your steps. After
ncoker zypper --releasever=15.4 dup --download-in-heaps
there is the error again, I've described in my post
I hope for any hints. At the moment I try to upgrade my test vm.
Thanks
Ulf
Im also very interested in this and wanted to ask this now.
It seems there are some strange problems since Christmas-Update. I also use the Appliance, since 2021 and always kept it up to date so far.
WalterH:
I also encountered this, but dont understand why it seems to be a problem to have an "old" installation like me. I always installed updates and everything. So it seems to be more of a problem of the update process?
I installed Christmas update but it always still says I have 2021.05.2 as said here. There seems to be something strange and I have the feeling I dont got all updates since then. For example: I still have the problem I described here, its not fixed for me.
So I dont know if this is all about wrong dependencies or the lack of the distribution upgrade until now - but would be happy if there is a solution soon.
Have you tried to setup a fresh ISO-Installation and just used your Backup?
I'm not done yet with all my Upgrade-Tests to 15.4 but i think this will just be my "Last-Resort" and it is always good to check if that is working anyhow 
.
I just did an ISO-Installation for tests this morning.
Only thing i had to do was an zypper modifyrepo --disable repo-backports-update and zypper in -y open-vm-tools so far. However i only use core and only test something else if i'm really bored....
I also opened an ticket because the OVA-Image does not align with the configured Repositorys in the ISO. Meaning that the OVA-Image sadly still uses a few 15.3 Repositorys.
For this "2021.05.2" the Package grommunio-release-$NUMBER is responsible to my knowledge.
What are your current Package-Versions?
rpm -qa *grom*
Is it not possible to choose another way than zypper dup?
I have experienced that for a first installation it is best to use only the ISO and not the OVA, without any update during their installation. What if the same method is used for an existing installation, installing the v2022.12.1 over the v2022.05.x?
Or would there be a way to do a fresh install for as major upgrade and then reliably migrate all user data from install to install, it means from v2022.05.x to v2022.12.1?
What I read here about zypper dup seems not process safe (!)
Andy Or would there be a way to do a fresh install for as major upgrade and then reliably migrate all user data from install to install, it means from v2022.05.x to v2022.12.1?
The reliable way is your Backup and Recovery strategy 
.
It isn't that much what you need to do.
My and others Notes about it here which i've basically done now a couple times..
https://community.grommunio.com/d/307-mailbox-backup/5
zypper dup is the way of doing an System-Upgrade in Suse. No way around it AFAIK..
OK. On the linked page I have seen the Restore way and what is the process for the Backup?
