   But at this point, you can not do "zypper dup".  No matter how you got   
   to 15.1 final, no more "zypper dup".

   Impossible.   
      
   It may be that at one point there was a conflict and it gave you a list   
   of options. That one of the options say "please lock this package", I   
   have never seen or heard about.   
      
   It may tell you the reverse: I can't go on because such package is locked.

   Ok, that's a plan.
